Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"What's up?" Sherilyn settled onto the couch, flicking her hair off her shoulders with a casual grace.

"Spit it out."

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.

Gilbert carefully pulled out the watch, grasped her hand, and positioned it on her wrist, "Let me."

Just as he was about to fasten it, Sherilyn jerked her hand away.
