Quartz (noun): is the second-most-abundant mineral the Earth's continental crust. There are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are semi-precious gemstones.

Branch clue: Tomas

A hand reaches for her…

"That's mine, Dan!"

Reagan Holt pushes him and he shoves her back. She can't help it if her stomach does flip-flops, or if she blushes bright red as she stares into his jade eyes.

Somebody has a crush, Reagan, and I think it's you.

They smile at each other before collapsing on the lush, green grass. Natalie Kabra walks up to them from the opulent mansion, Grace's house.

"Hello, Reagan and Dan."Natalie smiled.

The past few months, Natalie was nicer and friendlier, and she was actually kind of cool.

"Hey, Nat. Check out these bracelets, they're pretty sweet." Reagan smiled back.

Reagan was never one for accessories but she genuinely thought they were cool. She holds them out for Natalie to try on.

Obligingly, Natalie takes the second bracelet but leaves the first in Reagan's grasp. "It's…beautiful," she murmurs, stroking the jade that decorates the white gold.

"This one," Reagan points to the first one, a rose quartz charm bracelet, "Is what Dan bought for Amy's birthday present, and that," Reagan gestures at the jade bracelet, "Is Dan's mom's wedding gift from his dad."

Natalie freezes for a moment before cautiously pushing it back into Reagan's hands. "It's too precious too hold," she explains. "Whereas the quartz is only semi-precious."

Reagan randomly flashbacks to only two minutes before; Dan shoving her, and they made physical contact.

What had Natalie said? It's too precious to hold, whereas the quartz is only semi-precious.

Reagan thought the rose quartz was pretty neat at first, but now she's not so sure.

A hand reaches for her…but it withdraws back.

Reagan sees this with her own eyes, Dan reaching for Natalie, but Natalie is too precious too him to hold, so he held back. But Dan can shove Reagan.

Reagan feels like the rose quartz. She may be precious, but not as much as Natalie. She's not too precious, so people are not afraid of to hold her.

A hand reaches for her…but it withdraws back, because she is too precious to hold.

But Reagan's not.
