Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Her Idea

Stuart looked straight into Edie's eyes, with a confused look on his face. He had no idea why she wanted him to open the box. He nodded his head and spoke in a calm voice. "Okay, I'll open it for you."

Edie felt her heartbeat double time as she watched him open her little package. The butterflies in her stomach made her both nervous and excited at once. Stuart opened the box slowly with all eyes on him. She stepped back, and disappointment flashed in her eye. "It's not a ring. It's a necklace," she mumbled under her breath. She shook her head in disbelief. "What...is this?" she asked, her voice quavering.

Stuart stared down at her solemnly. "It's a gift from Brittany. She forgot to give it to you and asked me to do it for her. I completely forgot about it until now," he explained. He studied her face, trying to read her expression.
