Opening
The notification from the Van Cleef & Arpels customer service app popped up on my phone.
“Your Alhambra jewelry set has been serviced and is ready for pickup at our South Lake Avenue boutique.”
I read the message three times.
The Alhambra set was a family heirloom left to me by my mother.
It was currently locked inside the safe in my house.
I certainly hadn't sent it in for servicing.
And I had never set foot in the South Lake Avenue boutique in my life.
I picked up my phone and called the store.
