"Here," I said, handing her the small, wrapped package. "I saw this and thought of you."

Aria looked surprised but pleased. She unwrapped the package and her eyes widened slightly as she saw the bracelet. "It's beautiful... Thank you."

"You're welcome," I replied, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction. "I'm glad you like it."
