Michael was taken aback sa pamamagitan ng Maris' smile and he raised his glass as if he was giving her some kind of recognition, or acknowledgement. Ad the evening went on, the prospective mga manliligaw were talking in general about their plans; as well, as their goals for the future. When Maris wasn't looking, Michael pulled a huge velvet case from the inside of his jacket, which contained, a pearl choker for Kay Jewelers, he he secretly purchased on araw before their first date, and he swore his Quantrell to secrecy; in regards, to the present he got for Maris.

As he placed the case susunod to her plate, Maris looked at it in awe and wondered what it was, so she opened the case; as well, as gazing at the $2,500 choker Michael had ibingiay her. "Wow," she said, it was the first time anyone has ever treated her in a way she wasn't used to ibingiay all the other guys she'd dated in the past, and she didn't know what to think it completely blew her mind. "Do you Like it," he asked waiting for her response, "Oh, Michael, it's beautiful, I don't know what to say," she said. "Thank you, Michael, for making this evening special, you're a real gentleman," she replied, "Oh, you're welcome sweetie, is it okay to call you, sweetie," he asked.
