Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Jacqueline’s eyes flashed as she answered, “It’s a pendant.”

“What kind of pendant? Ms. Graham, can you describe it?” queried Natalie with a mockery look on her face.

Upon seeing that, Shane guessed something was strange about the pendant. His face darkened as he inquired, “Jacqueline, what did you give Natalie?”

“I…” Jacqueline gripped her fork tightly and stammered.

“Mouse pendant?” Shane’s brows were knitted tightly into a deep frown upon hearing that. “Jacqueline, why did you give Natalie a mouse pendant?”

Jacqueline lowered her head and replied, “B-Because… M-Ms. Smith was born in the Year of the Mouse. S-So…”

Natalie stared at the former and said, “I’m happy if you give me a mouse pendant because of the year I was born because those accessories were usually cute. But the mouse pendant that you gave me was Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective, an infamous criminal. Obviously, it was custom-made. So, what are you implying?”

Having heard that, Shane understood what had happened.

Jacqueline gave Natalie a custom-made mouse accessory, but the mouse did not look cute. It looked like Professor Ratigan, who was an infamous criminal.

In other words, Jacqueline gave Natalie the pendant to imply that the latter was a thief.
