"Bruno..." Camille pointed to the classic Tiffany's ring off to the right side of the jewelry case. "Look at this one. I think this one might be the right one..."

"Can we see that one?" he asked the sales person behind the counter.

"Absolutely..." he pulled the ring out carefully placing it on the counter.

"Oh...Bruno, that is so her. It's simple. But it will sparkle just enough. It's so pretty."

"Are you sure that's the right one, Camille?"

"Unless you want to propose, bring her in here and have her pick exactly the same ring...yes that's the right ring."

"We want that one. Can you engrave 'Good Morning' in it?" he asked.

"Yes, yes we can."

"By tonight?" he asked with urgency in his voice.

The salesperson didn't say a word. "I'll be right back. I think we can. But I don't want to say yes...yet."

Camille and Bruno waited for the salesperson to come back. They could see him and a few others talking, glancing back a handful of times.

"They're totally talking about who you are, Bruno." Camille whispered.

"I know. It's kind of weird. No. It isn't kind of weird. It's really weird."

The salesperson came back with his manager. "Mr. Hernandez, we'll have this done in 3 hours."

"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me."

"And my sister!" Camille said with a giant smile on her face. Bruno glanced over at his future sister-in-law to see her excitement.

They went to a small restaurant to eat lunch. He went unnoticed, which was amazing. It might have been because it was a Monday. It might have been because where he was. It was incredibly laid back and he enjoyed the peace and quiet. There was something about being around Arissa, her friends and her family that created an incredible sense of peace and quiet for him.

"Here it is..." the same salesperson brought a Tiffany blue box out carefully from his hand. Camille and Bruno both held their breath as he opened the box to see the small diamond poking through the white slit of the box.

"Oh, Bruno...it's so darn beautiful." Camille told him.

"Yeah. Just like your sister." he replied.
