Chapter 26

• Kasey ran back into her bedroom. Several pairs of eyes watched her come out again. “I don’t know.” She stood with a stone on a silver chain in one hand and a crystal on a gold chain in the other. “I have two, and now I’m not sure which one to take.”
• Chris, who had been leaning against the wall, sighed and walked over to her. “Let’s see what you’ve got.” She opened her left hand and held it out to him. He studied the stone but didn’t touch it. “Where do you find some of these, Kase? That is spinel, isn’t it?” She nodded, looking down at the almost white crystal in her hand. “What did you focus on with it?”
• “Rejuvenation, kind of overall, inside and out, mentally as well. I did it first, but then I got to thinking that maybe she might need courage more.”
