September 22, 2005:

Your grandfather's watch. Broken by the family cat, during an awkward jump from a shelf.

To whom to be loyal? The grandfather you admired but barely knew? Or the cat who, her whole life and after, was a real part of your heart?

Maybe then, both. You'll leave the watch out where you can see it. But, you won't have it repaired.
