I stroked the gold of the chain, of Kate's throat.

"Mary, you musn't. You might need it someday, it's the only thing you have."

I shook my head. The pearl was insufficient for our little house; I could have no other need for it.

"My something borrowed, then," she pleaded.

Both chain and throat blurred, just like our little house.
