Stefan smiles with mild amusement. He removes his hand from her grasp and opens the small jewelry box and turns it to face her. Inside is a ring with one large glittering emerald in the middle, surrounded by smaller diamonds. It's obvious from the setting it's a designer original. Stefan watches her reaction carefully.
Laura mouth opens with wonder.
But such extravagance isn't necessary. Yes, of course I do. Stefan frees the ring from the box and takes her hand, slipping it into place. I want the ring you wear to be made especially for you to my specifications. Neither of us need further reminders of my family.
