TWENTY-TWO
A gentle touch on Erin’s wrist diverted her attention from Juliana’s morning company call. She glanced at Ramon, who was seated beside her. He flashed her a timid smile before willing her with his eyes to look at what he held in his hand: a silver charm bracelet.
“For me?” she mouthed, surprised.
He nodded, tilted his head back and whispered near her ear. “I forgot to give it to you last night.”
As Juliana essayed the day’s schedule to the rest of the company, Ramon put the bracelet on Erin’s wrist. Running her fingers on the chain, she examined the dainty charms with a smile. There was a G-clef, an eighth note, a star, a heart, and a round charm with her initials engraved on it.
“It’s pretty.”
Ramon dipped his head and kissed her on the shoulder. “I’m glad you like it.”
