"Yez, isz very goot, yez." The jeweller nodded. “You like?” He asked worried about her passive responses to the expensive accessories.

Keeping any sign of enthusiasm at bay, however polite, Lena nodded that she was pleased, but that was all he received, a nod.

"Oh mama, you are breath-taking." Hope exclaimed holding her mothers hair up and away for her. "They were truly made for you."

"Zis isz true, I like zis upon your skin." The jeweller commented.

Lena reached up to feel it around her neck, she supposed it was pretty but she preferred the alternative.

"I happen to like the emeralds and gold, that set is better against her skin, they also bring out the glowing gold of her eyes…" Came Manny's deep voice from the doorway, surprising them all. Everyone looked up to see him leaning there nonchalantly, with his arms crossed over his chest and his feet crossed at the ankles. Lena blushed at the sight of his eyes so intently on her, she lowered her head, as he continued. “...the rich soft hues of gold in her hair, and her amazing brown skin”.

“I want the emeralds, and for a change, we will also take the rubies. Do not forget to take her ring size, when she agrees to become my wife, I want to make sure her ring fits."

Manny informed him, never taking his eyes from Lena, whose brows rose in challenge to his sure words. Manny nodded and left.

Hope exclaimed. "He's right you know, the emerald and gold is more suited for you."

Lena knew he always seemed to have an eye for what she liked, or what looked good on her, but!

"They were very nice, Mr. ...?"

"Ishvotz."

"Yes, well, Mr. Ishvotz, they were very nice. However, I cannot accept them." All three gasped at her refusal as Lena reached behind her to undo the necklace. "Neither will there be a need for my ring size, I apologize for wasting your time."

"Mama! You can't mean that!? You have to take them! Father wants you to have them! And the ring size! Mama come on, for your wedding ring! Mama Please!"

Lena smiled, understanding her daughter's plea but removed the necklace and placed it back on the table. Quickly, the jeweller grabbed his ring sizer and Lena's hand placing one on her finger before she snatched her hand from him. He was quick as a snake, money on his mind from the sale, he had no inclination to fail in his role. Lena pulled the ring from her finger. It was a little too big, which the jeweller took note of.
