Erzsébet was sitting at the counter when Sara returned bearing the gift of food, and said nothing when Sara stuck the food next to her on the counter. That's the way it had been for Sara growing up, and she supposed her sister was somewhat that way as well. Christopher was a little more open than they were; Sara tried to hide a smile knowing that inadvertently, her sister had some of her traits.
Sara didn't push the issue, and went straight to her room to sleep. Erzsébet knew her past few days had been hard, as Sara filled her in on the way to the building, so it was both Sidle women who just wanted to do what they had to do and not bother anyone else. When Sara came out, halfway through her nap, Erzsébet was sleeping soundly on the couch, and Sara couldn't help but smooth her sister's hair back and make sure she was comfortable.
That was when she had first noticed the bracelet her sister wore. Sara supposed she hadn't noticed it before, probably because of the quickness of her returning and getting into everything, but now she saw there was a small charm hanging off of a bracelet on her sister's wrist. Being as careful as the could, she removed the bracelet from Erzsébet's wrist, and sat on a nearby chair to examine it. It looked fairly normal, and silver – Erzsébet had told her earlier of her penchant for silver – and had what seemed like a locket hanging from it. Turning it over, Sara was surprised to find and inscription:
Erzsébet,
I will always be there
Gregers
Greg gave her sister a locket? And inscribed something on it? Sara raised her eyebrows, and opened the locket; she would have to ask Greg about it while they were on shift. Inside, there were two pictures. One seemed to be of Erzsébet in Hawaii; the other was of Greg, also looking Hawaiian. No wonder her sister was so upset finding out Greg had tried, and failed, to pursue her… they'd been best friends for some time, and then it looked like they'd lost contact.
She put the locket-bracelet on her coffee table, and headed back to bed to finish her nap…. She'd definitely have to ask Greg about this later. Right now, she wanted to sleep.
