Chaumet, the prestigious Parisian jeweler favored by European aristocracy.

Thalia replied with a simple “Sure.”

At the Chaumet boutique, the specialist, with the polished grace characteristic of the Parisian house, presented the ring.

“Miss Winters, this is the ring Mr. Blackwood specially commissioned for you.”

“We’ve engraved your initials inside the band, as requested.”

Thalia looked closely-“AB TW” was delicately inscribed within.

The ring fit perfectly on her finger.

“It’s stunning,” the specialist said sincerely.
