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.

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.
