I grin.

“I’ll arrange something for you to wear and have it in your room by late afternoon. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Radmir, I want to know—“

“Have a lovely morning, I’m going out for a bit,” I say, turning away from her and walking towards the stairs.

“Radmir!” she calls after me in a huff.

I chuckle as I hurry down to the ground floor. She wouldn’t have liked that. I never cut her off and I never walk away from her while she’s speaking. But I’ve decided to change tactics. And I have somewhere I need to be.

The first place I stop is the jewelry store. I want to find her a ruby. It has to be as perfect as she is though, so I’m nervous they won’t have what I’m looking for.

But as usual, George Lemmings delivers.

I only have to talk with him for a few minutes before he smirks knowingly and says, “I have exactly the thing you are looking for.” Then disappears into the back.

He comes out carrying a velvet box with a glass top. He holds it out towards me and flips the lid open.

“The designer just dropped it off this morning, so it wasn’t on display yet. I think it arrived just in time because it was meant for you.”

It is a teardrop-shaped red ruby, cuffed with rose gold claws set on a gold necklace of the same tone. But it’s not just red. It’sfirered. And when he moves the box, the entire gem glitters and sparkles.

“The cut is excellent, don’t you think?”

“It’s exquisite,” I mumble, mesmerized by the stone.

“And there is a matching ring if you are interested.”

“I’ll take both.”

That was easier than I expected and I’m over the moon about how beautiful it will look on her.

From there I go to the boutique store on main street. A dress store that stocks the most exquisite pieces. I can’t imagine I will find anything as perfect as her black and red dress she wore to the party, but I want to try.

After browsing, I select a deep ruby red velvet dress that will sit tight over her body until her waist and then flare out over her hips. Two long slits run up the front of each leg and black lace edges the top around her breasts. It’s going to be gorgeous.

My stomach flips excitedly.

After stopping for a bouquet and red and black roses I head back home. It’s all taken me longer than I thought it wouldbut it’s fine. I still have time to get the dress to her so she can get ready.

Her bedroom is empty, so I set the dress box on her bed.

The jewelry and flowers I will give to her in person.

She is going to be blown away and feeling like a princess. This is definitely going to win her over.

At quarter to seven, Jade walks downstairs to the foyer where I am waiting with the flowers behind my back.

She takes each step cautiously as though she feels nervous.

“Rad, this is dress is—“ she mumbles, looking worried.

“That dress doesn’t deserve to be on someone so beautiful, but tonight it is the luckiest dress in the world. And you make it look perfect,” I interrupt her.

She grins, her cheeks flushing pink.

When she reaches the last step I pull the flowers out from behind my back.
