Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Gilbert slid next to her, fishing a small box out of his pocket. "For you."

Sherilyn glanced at it, gauging its size, and ventured a guess, "A wristwatch?"

"Yeah."

Gilbert chuckled, flipping open the box, "Remember, the one you busted a while back? Sent it off to Switzerland for an old master watchmaker to fix up. The guy's swamped and ancient, took ages to send it back." That wristwatch, Sherilyn remembered.
