"Denver," she called out, waving. "Over here." Earlier, Denver had mentioned wanting to stop by, but Hadley had gently turned him down. This was a personal family matter.

"I believe when it matters." Denver offered her the pouch, then cleared his throat. "I went to get a charm for Joy. Something for peace and protection." Hadley froze for a moment, realizing he had done such a thing for her daughter.
"Is it silly?" Denver's cheeks flushed slightly. "I know it's probably just superstition, but I thought... maybe it would bring speace of mind." Hadley didn't respond right away, and Denver started to fidget.
"If you're not into this kind of thing, I can take it back..."
"No!" Hadley snapped out of her thoughts and gripped the pouchm tightly. Then, she pretended to scold him. You can't take back a gift once it's given." "So... you'll accept it?" Denver hesitantly asked.
"Of course." Hadley opened the pouch, revealing a small charm attached to a string. Her fingersm brushed gently over it, and her expression softened. "My grandmother used to visit Phinas Church a lot. If she were still here, she would've gone and picked one up for Joy too."
