With her mouth agape, Zarina looked at Draymond, who sat on the plush couch, crossing his arms. "Hmm... are you going to make me suggest the price for these in the upcoming auction you're attending?" she asked, "It's shameful to think that you're giving me these breathtakingly expensive jewels, and besides, I have allergies to them."
"Why do you think I will display them at an auction? They're all yours, lady," Draymond replied. He anticipated that Zarina would love the jewelry. Her eyes sparkled when she retrieved the diamond rings from their box, and besides, no woman would neglect such luxury. That would make them look hypocritical.
Even though he was sure that Zarina would be happy with his present, he couldn't shake off a ray of "what if" in his head. Knowing Zarina, she seemed to despise expensive things.
