No. [ Okay maybe that was too fast of an answer, but Melissa seriously wants nothing to do with that necklace and she's still not even sure why Nat gave it to Dom at all other than because she wanted it gone too. ] You can keep it. Or throw it out if you don't want it. Nat won't mind.
[ She can't mind, even.
Melissa frowns, still not getting up from her spot on the floor. ] Dom? Could I stay here tonight?

[ It means something. It means a lot. He just wasn't sure he had the right to hold on to it. ]

[ Her body language says ugh, fine, but she walks over and bumps her head against Mel. That says sorry you're sad, buddy. ]
