Joanne looked strangely at Stephen before saying "What?"
"None of what I could come up with felt as if it was right. This, however, does feel right to give this to you."
Joanne opened the bag, reached in and pulled out a small jeweller's box and opened it, before looking Stephen directly in the eyes before saying "You finished it?"
"With you tied up this week, I had some time on my hands and wanted to give not only that, because you deserve it, but the matching set that is at the bottom of the bag."
