Gold (noun): a dense, soft, shiny, ductile and malleable material. Pure gold has a yellow luster that is traditionally considered beautiful.

Branch Clue: Tomas

It is beautiful.

Natalie turns the delicate white gold bracelet in her hands over and over again. She is obsessed with it, admiring the jade she had come to love.

I am beautiful, she is probably thinking

Unbeknownst to her, she has an invisible stalker. Reagan is concealed in the shadows in the far corner of the room.

Dan enters the room as well. Reagan silently and sharply draws in her breath.

Reagan finally understands how everything works out. Reagan is a friend, just a friend. Natalie is to be cherished, loved for life.

And Reagan uses the bracelet as an example again. Natalie is the gold, sought after highly.

Reagan knows how things work out, but she had to see for herself. If she had known how much it would hurt her, she would not have showed up.

However, it was too late. As Dan's lips meet hers, Reagan shuts her eyes, drowning out everything out, wishing she could be her.

But the best she can do is watch in horror, for she cannot be like her.
