Slick and heavy in Tella’s hands, the box was made of mother-of-pearl and covered in spiderwebbed gold filigree Tella liked to pretend it was also charmed, for even when her fingers were dirty, they fortunately never left prints. Quickly, she stole a look over her shoulder and then snatched her mother’s jewelry box. Tella’s tiny feet made no sound as she tiptoed across thick ivory carpets to her mother’s dresser. Above, a citrine chandelier greeted Tella with the musical sounds of kissing glass, making it easy for her to imagine the suite was a bewitched portal to another world. The room smelled of flowers plucked from secret gardens, and even when there wasn’t a breeze, the sheer curtains billowed around the magnificent canopy bed. Hints of emerald light dusted the air as if fairies came to play whenever her mother left. While some rooms on the estate had monsters hiding beneath the beds, Tella swore her mother’s suite concealed enchantment. ![]()
