- Maybe it was a book, a pair of earrings, or a lawnmower – whatever it was, you have it and they want it back.
- Even if it is years later, it is never too late to give something back and apologize for the delay – it’s the right thing to do.

Talking Points
- I’m so sorry I’m only just now giving back your <item>.
