Emerald Celeste Pendant
The greenhouse smelled of damp soil and citrus leaves. Rows of Italian clay pots lined the benches beneath the glass roof. Petrified wood in the spaces between them, polished sections stacked beside rough specimens still carrying traces of bark. She worked at a potting table near the center of the room, separating cuttings from a trailing plant. Across from her, a grandchild pressed soil around a young alocasia with both hands.
Her emerald pendant rested against her chest, its color recalling the antique glass bottles arranged along the windowsill. The gold chain caught the filtered light as she bent over the table. A smear of soil marked one wrist. The child glanced up occasionally, watching the stone move as she worked. When she leaned across the table to pass a cutting, the pendant swung forward between them, bright against the dark soil. The child reached out and steadied it with one finger before returning to the pot.
