“A gift?” A smile crept across my face as curiosity gnawed at me. “You really didn’t. have to get me anything, Timothy.”

He chuckled. “I know I don’t have to, but I want to. You’re not just an exceptional. lawyer, Evie; you’re a good person. The effort you’ve put into my case means a lot

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. My heart fluttered as he handed it to me. I gently lifted the lid to reveal a delicate necklace, a slender chain of silver with the words “Say the right things” written on a small, intricately designed pendant. It was exquisite and made my heart swell with emotions.

“Timothy, it’s beautiful,” I exclaimed.

He smiled, that crooked half–smile that always got to me. “It’s a reminder, Evie. A reminder to always speak your mind, to express your thoughts and feelings. without hesitation. Say the right thing, not just for others but for yourself too.”

I was touched by his words and the symbolism behind the necklace. It was a promise of respect and trust, a reminder that the power to shape my future lay in my own hands. “Thank you.”

“Oh.” My eyes widened as he pressed me forward, and I was interested in what else he had planned.

The streetlights grew more elegant, casting a soft glow on the cobbled walkways. We reached a grand, ornate building, and I couldn’t help but feel flattered by our destination.

“What is this place, Timothy?” I asked, looking up at the grandeur of the establishment.
