"Gabriel, don't doubt her," Amelie said gently, stepping between him and her sister.
"I have every reason to," Gabriel replied, his gaze fixed firmly on Flora.
Flora took a breath, keeping her expression steady. "I know I've made mistakes. I won't deny that. Nothing can erase what I did before. But when someone offers you something that claims to fix everything, even if it seems too good to be true… you're tempted. But at the same time, you want to know why the person helping you, asking you that you were right when you were wrong."
Amelie turned to Gabriel. "The woman who gave her that locket relentlessly asked Flora to wear it. But she didn't. And yes, she made bad choices in the past, but she's not that same person anymore. I trust her, Gabriel. And so can you."
"Amelie, I'll confirm everything first," Gabriel said. "Denzel will give him a report soon," he added.
"Give me the locket," he asked Flora.
