Tempest whistled a bit at the tiara she took it in her hands, “Yeah I can have it ready. Should cost roughly hundred crescents to fix it…” She was gentle with her touch as she moved the tiara around. It was amazing to her how different Lewis was. It occurred to her what it could be.

“You know. For anniversaries and such… Most men have a new wedding ring commissioned as something that matters a lot.” She brought over some sketches. “I had some ring ideas I had sketched out for if someone asked for something… special. Take your time to look them over and tell me later if it’s something you would like to do. Her wedding ring wasn’t designed by you and if I remember right you weren’t exactly thrilled about being married. It would mean a lot if you chose how it looked this time around.”

She showed her ring, “Belen got all kinds of fire to make mine and I love it! I’m sure she loves her current ring but just imagine what a ring designed by you would do… I also just happen to have a business I gotta run so this is good for me too.” She gave a big cheesy grin. “Any ideas you have just tell me and I can sketch them all the same. It’s my job.”

Lewis knew the tactics of most salesmen, having dealt with Raile on more than one occasion. That being said, when Tempest mentioned new ring designs, he was almost immediately sold on the idea, and knowing that she made the last ring was a big sell point. The ring that Simone had currently was amazing, but one designed by him, specifically for her…

“I’ll have to think about what design but…” He smirked. “I know and trust your work. It’s a good idea. I’ll just have to think of something…special. Just for her.” Lewis was impressed. Despite her attitude, Tempest seemed to be catching on to what was happening. He wondered just how much everyone else knew. Not that it mattered. The only thing that mattered was that Simone not find out.

“Just uh…keep it on the low, all right? It’s meant to be a surprise.” Lewis crossed his arms. “I‘ll be back, though, to figure out the ring.”

Lewis left with a happy heart. It was almost time to go home. He had done enough planning for the day. “The first few steps are done. I can start the next soon, though…” he said aloud.

I can’t wait… For once, he was excited.
