Just like sands through the hourglass, these are the jewels of our lives. Cut to scene 2, as the camera slowly the pans over to lead character, Marlene whose gaze is incredulous. But why? You wonder. She's turned away from her love interest, whose hands frame a textured black velvet lined box, and inside, like an overdue anniversary gift, these jewels light up the room.

Will she turn around just once more before she walks out the door? If she saw the necklace, would everything be different? To be continued.
