"What?"
"I make $50,000 a month."
"Whoa. You make a lot of money."
"So I figure if the engagement ring I get you is $150,000…"
"Yeah?"
"Then the promise ring I get you could be up to $75,000."
"You are not going to buy me a ring for $75,000. Hell no. You're out of your mind."
"I might be a little bit out of my mind, but I remember the very first thing you said to me was you needed to know my salary so you knew how much you could spend on a ring. You don't have to spend seventy-five grand on a ring, but if you want to…" He grins. "I'd be more than happy to spend that. In fact, I have some appointments at some jewelry stores."
"No way."
"Yep. I was hoping that you would say yes to coming to look at some with me."
"I mean, I won't say no." I grin. "But you're not spending that much money."
"And I have one other surprise."
"What is it?"
"We're going on a trip tomorrow."
"Excuse me?"
"I wanted to make it a super surprise, but I know you. You're going to want to pack. So we're going to do some shopping today."
"We're going to do shopping because we're going where?"
"See if you can guess."
"New Jersey?"
"Really? You think I'm so romantic that I'm going to take you to New Jersey?"
I giggle girlishly. "Okay. Texas?"
"Do you want to go to Texas?"
"No," I say, laughing. "Where are you taking me?"
"We're going to go to Paris," he says. "And we're going to get chocolate croissants."
"Oh my gosh. You're joking."
"Nope. I've hired a private plane."
"I'm going on a private plane? That must have cost loads of money."
"You know what, Skye? I've spent my entire working career trying to make as much money as possible. Taking cases, doing things that I don't necessarily personally agree with for the money, and I don't even spend it. I want to spend it now. I want to spoil you. I want it to have been worth it."
"Um, I don't know what to say to that, but I'm going to say no to a trip to Paris. What is it? An overnight trip?"
"No," he says, shaking his head. "We're going to spend three days in Paris and then go to London, then Amsterdam, then come back. It will be about ten days total. It would've been longer, but I have a case coming up that I have to prepare for."
