What Did He Do?
Mark handed Oliver a stone, but when he looked at it, it didn’t glow. When Oliver inquires as to Mark’s involvement with the stone, Mark provides bogus explanations. Next, Oliver realizes that something is not right.
To His Dismay
To his dismay, the gem in his hand no longer emitted its once radiant glow. It appeared dull, lifeless, and utterly different from the gem he had cherished so dearly. Confusion and disappointment washed over Oliver as he realized that Mark had given him a fake gem in place of his prized possession.
