She didn&#8217;t want any money.&nbsp;\u00a0 She let me cry when I told her about Max, and listened patiently to the long harrowing story. She even put the hair inside the locket for me.&nbsp;\u00a0 A lock of hair that I cut myself while a red-faced bastard from the coroner&#8217;s office yelled at me in Max&#8217;s bedroom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/the-locket-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6145\" title=\"the locket 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/the-locket-2.jpg?resize=303%2C389\" alt=\"\" width=\"303\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/the-locket-2.jpg?w=303&amp;ssl=1 303w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/the-locket-2.jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Summer is an angel, and she is appropriately beautiful for the role.
