Chapter 98

We’d picked a few jewelry stores from the internet, and we stopped at the first one because it was closest. Carl looked at everything from new sets to wedding sets to estate jewelry, not finding anything he liked. We headed to the next place, Day’s Jewelers, and he did the same thing, not finding what he was looking for. So far, a couple hours blown, and I was hungry.

“Let’s eat,” I said, “before going to the next one. It’s past noon already.”

“I agree,” Brigitte said. “I vote for a steak place. I’m ravenous.”

“You’ve looked at somewhere around five hundred rings,” Lisette said. “What was wrong with them, Carl?”

“Dani said she wanted something unique. I didn’t see anything that didn’t look almost like any other hundred rings out there.”

“That’s true,” I said.

“Look, every jewelry store is catering to what most people would likely buy,” Brigitte said, “but a lot of stores do custom work. Tell them what you want and have them make it for you.”
