I bit my lip as I tried to determine the best way to tell Amanda what had happened. Eventually, I decided there just wasn't a good way, so I said, "Well, um, Vivian and I began to think it was haunted or something, so we kind of sold it to a pawn shop. Then it got stolen, and the owner died, and the police auctioned the necklace off to some unknown person." I cringed as I spoke. From Amanda's perspective, I was certain the pair of us sounded like complete idiots. She hadn't seen what the necklace could do to those who came to close to it...
