"Rosamond, when did you become such a liar?"
Something cracked inside her. Even someone as strong as Rosamond felt the sting of being accused again and again of things she hadn't done.
"Bryce, I have never lied. If you don't believe me, just wait until I get the bracelet out of the water..."
The words died on her lips. She stood frozen, staring, the shock plain on her face.
Because Bryce had just pulled her grandmother's bracelet from his jacket pocket.
He looked at her, his expression heavy with disgust.
"This is your grandmother's bracelet, isn't it?"
"Olympia gave it to me before the party even started. Asked me to return it to you. I didn't think I'd need it as evidence."
"Rosamond, you keep saying your grandmother loved you more than anyone. But now you're using her bracelet as a prop to frame Olympia."
"You are a complete disappointment. Since you care so little about this bracelet, let's put it out of its misery. At least then you can't use it to hurt anyone else."
Something dark and final crossed his face. He hurled the bracelet at the ground.
It shattered into pieces, just like her heart.
"No!"
