"Happy birthday, Annie."
The necklace's chain is silver, the pendant a droplet-shaped pearl. It's the loveliest thing she's ever owned. . . . Her eyes moisten: does he think her old enough to be treated as a woman now?
"It's beautiful, Father. I'll wear it everyday - to show how much I love it - how much I love you - I'll wear it like a trophy . . ."
Beadle Bamford smiles.
Ten months later, nothing's beautiful, and her father can't smile in his coffin - but she still wears the necklace everyday - not a trophy, but a teardrop scarred into her skin.
