I like this story. I like the mention of other people characters from the SS Universe.
I like that if something catches your interest/curiosity you can highlight it and Google it. Diamond Tennis Bracelet did that to me. I don't do jewelry, so I have no interest in it and therefore no knowledge about it. I couldn't imagine what a Diamond Tennis Bracelet looked like. Or, why a boy wearing one would be an issue. Literalist that I am I thought of tennis racket shapes linked together. So, I Googled it. What a surprise for me. The price ranges were interesting. $42,200.00 down to a Macy's $260.00 bracelet marked down to $69.99 (apparently due to some bad reviews about the clasp.) And not a tennis racket shape to be seen.
Somebody asked why it was called a Tennis Bracelet. The answer surprised me and is quoted below.
"What does wearing a tennis bracelet mean?
The world class professional tennis player Evert was in the midst of a highly competitive match during which her string diamonds fell off her wrist, prompting the champion to request a pause for play so she could look for jewels. From then on, the name tennis bracelet was tied to Evert. Aug 3, 2021" (If you like to learn something new every day, this counts.)
I like the mention of Bell and Phil and how things are going well for them.
I liked Evelyn's "assist". Brought back memories of a job in a gift shop I had when a teen.
I liked Grey and Logan talking about "things" as a pair. Not dismissing each other's concerns or fears.
I like Logan's quick thinking. “I got the notification on my phone about school closing, so I came over to help Grey this morning.” and the mother's response.
I liked the resolution of this story's ... issue.
Thanks Dave for another great read.
