Joshua: [Hey, Allie. The engagement ring I custom-made for you at Tiffany & Co. has arrived at their store in Havenbrook. Stop by when you get a chance to check it out.]

Allison was surprised that the ring was ready so quickly since she had only agreed to the engagement a few days ago. Was it pre-ordered? She didn't bother to ask and just replied with a simple: [Okay.]

Allison picked up the ring and took a closer look. The ring featured a rare five-carat blue diamond surrounded by smaller pink and colorless diamonds, sparkling brilliantly under the store lights.

"The inside is engraved with your and Mr. Fisher's initials," the associate added.
