Dear Annie: I'm a 15-year-old girl, and my friend "Kendall" has (stolen) a ring from me. I've known Kendall for (a couple of) years, and recently we've become best friends. I invited her (over) to my house and showed her the ring, and she really liked it. The (moment) she left, I noticed the ring was (missing). I didn't want to accuse Kendall of (stealing), so I asked if she had "borrowed" my ring. She (denied) it, but would not look me in the eyes. She is known for (getting in trouble), and though I think she is a wonderful friend, I am convinced she took the ring. What is the best way to (persuade) her to come clean so we can get this behind us? I really enjoy her friendship, and it (saddens) me to have this come between us. － Troubled in California Dear Troubled: Do you want the friendship or the ring? It's (unlikely) Kendall will simply return the ring because that means (admitting) she took it, and as you can see, she didn't take the (opportunity) to do so when you tried to make it easy for her. If you want to keep the friendship, tell Kendall to let you know if she ever finds the ring－and then forget about it. We also suggest you stop inviting Kendall to (peruse) your jewelry.
