Salvaging the Watch
Steven wanted to stick around during the clean-up, and with no one else in the shop, they let him. Everyone, including the jeweler, was itching to see what secrets the mud hid. To their amazement, beneath the grime, a treasure awaited. Once cleaned, the watch was surprisingly in good shape, aside from a shattered glass face and some internal damage.
Luckily, the damaged parts weren’t costly to replace. This discovery turned a slow day into an exciting adventure, proving that sometimes, the real value is hidden beneath the surface, waiting for a second chance to shine. However, Steven’s dream of striking it rich was axed when the truth came out.
