Poor grandma gets a cheap old ring as a gift, and the girl makes fun of her. She throws it away, and it opens.

 her face soft and sympathetic.
Emma stopped abruptly. What? What do you mean?
She moved weeks ago. Two or three maybe. She told me she was selling the house to give it to you. It was
after her diagnosis the old woman continued confused.
What? Emma continued confused.
She didnt tell you. Martha was diagnosed with skin cancer. Stage four Judy responded and began talking about her late mother who died of the same thing years ago.
Judy Im so sorry for being rude but I need my grandmother immediately! Emma interrupted her kind neighbor.
Franks I think Judy said startled.
Thanks Emma whispered and ran out to her car.
Franks was the local motel in their town which used to be an excellent spot for pool vacations when Emma was little. However things had changed and it became a rundown spot with guests with nowhere else to go.
Emma ran to the reception and begged for Marthas room number. The tired woman at the desk asked her to be specific and Emma almost snapped at her.
Oh the grandmother the receptionist said. Huh let me get my manager.
Emmas hackles raised instinctively. No! Give me her room. I have to talk to her now!
She died last night. Housekeeping found her earlier. The coroner already took the body away the receptionist answered awkwardly.
Emmas eyes and nostrils flared as she stoically walked away nodding maniacally and finally letting out an earcurling scream.
