As my mind wandered during the meeting I noticed her earrings and her rings (engagement and wedding band) as I usually do. Earrings were pretty drop type with two ovals with etched designs. Couldn't make out the designs.
After the meeting let out I wandered down the hall to the staircases and kicked something on the ground. Picking it up it was an earring, drop type, two ovals with etched designs on them. I knew right away it belonged to this engineer. I had no idea what her name was...I ran into B who I told about the earring and she said let's see if D is here, she should know since she is branch chief who the new engineer is and where she sits. Sure enough D said, sure, let's go to her cubicle to bring it back to her. The engineer wasn't there but we left her a note to let her know I had found her earring. Then D and I began a conversation about lost earrings and singletons who had found new homes at the Salvation Army. I mentioned the ones I was wearing currently which are pair no. 2 of ones that A got me long ago and they are my hands down favorite everyday earrings. I lost the one only a few months after he got me the first pair. I lost them at the gym at UMCP when I swore I put them in my pants pocket and then put them in the locker but when I returned they were no where to be found. I even went back multiple times. That made me so sad. Jewelry lost is one of the saddest things.
So after an hour or so I checked my e-mail and got a message from the engineer who's earring I returned:
Hi Sara,
Thanks for finding my earring and getting it returned to me.
Glad I could reunite them...
her name is Eva.
