QUOTE : Hey, hold up!” I drop the pickax to the ground and jog after K.T. I pull a roundish piece of amethyst about half the size of my palm out of my pocket and hold it out. “Would you give this to her?”<br /><br />K.T. tilts her head to the side as she takes the stone and examines it. “Pretty. Is it amethyst?”<br /><br />“Yeah.”<br /><br />“Why don’t you give it to her yourself?”<br /><br />I shove my hands in my pockets and shrug. There’s no answer I can give that wouldn’t either sound crazy or be an outright lie. K.T. smiles and slips the stone into her pocket.<br /><br />“All right, Romeo. I’ll go see if I can get Juliet to come to the ball tonight.”<br /><br />K.T. winks and walks around to the front of the house.
