It could go on the mantel, in an acrylic box, next to her wedding photo and the candlesticks her grandfather made in his metalworks shop. It could go in her office. Or it could go in that shoebox in the closet, the one where she kept notes from old boyfriends, photos from when she weighed less, and dried flowers from that night when she danced. Really, really danced.
