He could visualize her delight as she opened the box on her birthday. These were the ones. This was the perfect crystal necklace and the special birthday present he wanted to give Grace on her special day. Beauty for beauty he mused as he smiled on his way out of the store.
He knew she often wore a necklace. She wore them with sweaters every day. But, she also wore them with low-neck dresses.
Then he wondered if his girl had too many necklaces already. There were such a variety of styles and colors and he thought maybe she would like something different. The blue stones in one seemed especially nice. Grace wore blue a lot.
He stopped at that display case and stared at the three in gold. One had a single stone suspended on a gold chain. He asked about the cost of that one.
One with dozens of stones seemed very artistic and it had pale lavender stones. It seemed intricate and he thought Grace would like that. The price was prohibitive he thought.
Zak moved over to the earring display. He looked at two dozen beautiful pairs of rhodium earrings lined up in the case. He asked a few questions about rhodium and the saleslady answered him pleasantly.
He was glad to learn a little bit about jewelry. He hadn’t thought much about it before. As they chatted, his eyes caught sight of the earrings in the next case.
He talked about the special evening he had planned to celebrate his girlfriend’s twentieth birthday. He would take flowers when he picked her up. Then they were going to dinner where they would sit in their favorite booth. He already had the reservations made.
He had ordered a birthday cake to be delivered to their table after the meal. The staff would sing happy birthday for her. The cake was strawberry, not his favorite, but it was hers.
Next, they could walk around at the lakefront, talking and laughing. If it was raining, he knew just what movie he’d take her to. He was an intelligent and thoughtful young man who knew what she would like.
Then his eyes lit up when he saw one certain pair of swarovski earrings. They were substantial and long. He was sure they would look great against her slender neck.
When she opened the box she would be really surprised. The earrings could become her favorite pair. They made a great birthday surprise He wanted Grace to enjoy every minute of the special evening he had planned. He left with the earrings packed in a gift box.
