He arrived with references saved on his phone.
Small glimpses into her preferences.
Simple. Classic.
With a touch of detail.
We explored the collection together.
One by one, the designs began to take on new meaning.
Some stood out for their form.
Others, for what they reminded him of.
A gentle curve.
A rising twist.
A silhouette that felt familiar.
There was one design in particular that lingered.
Its form reminded him of a flower in bloom.
As the options narrowed, the decision became clearer.
Two designs remained.
Each beautiful in its own way.
He compared them carefully.
Turning them under the light.
Imagining them on her hand.
In the end, he chose the one that felt different.
Something a little unexpected.
Something he believed she would love.
There was a brief pause.
A check on timelines.
Then, the answer he was hoping for.
It will be ready.
In time for Christmas.
When everything was finalised, there was no hesitation.
Only certainty.
A ring, thoughtfully chosen.
A story, carefully held.
And a moment waiting to unfold
on the 25th of December.
