Three Days Until Showdown

Morning sunlight streams through the windows as Grayson and I share coffee in the matching robes he bought for us.

Mid-sip, I freeze. "Wait. I have an idea."

“Oh babe, I don’t know whether to be excited or scared whenever you say that.”

I grab my laptop, fingers flying over the keys as I log into Kyle's fake email. "Watch this."

To Lenora:

" After writing you that note, I wasn’t going to say anything else until Friday.

.. but something urgent came up. I hate to ask, but the funds I had earmarked for this.

.. well, my sister needed them for hospital bills.

And I desperately need to pay Tiffany's this morning for something special.

Can't give details, but it's important. Really important.

I promise to pay you back Friday—same day my sister's repaying me. Actually, I should have her write the check directly to you. Streamlined. Could you wire $50,000 to Tiffany's? Account details below. Just note it's from me, and I'll call to confirm my purchase.

Please don't say it's too much. Nothing is too much for a woman like you.

Email me when the transfer's done. All my love."

"What now?" Grayson asks.

"We wait."

The notification comes faster than expected. I check Kyle's email—there it is. Wire confirmation from Lenora. Done.

I outline the next phase of my plan, and Grayson's answering grin is downright wicked.

He picks up his phone and dials Tiffany's.

"Hi, this is Kyle Finley. I just wired funds for a special purchase.

.. Yes, exactly. My fiancée will come select any ring she wants within that budget.

Make it spectacular... Yes, she'll identify herself.

I'll email her now to pick it up. Oh, and please tell her to wear it Friday when she comes to my place. .. Perfect."

The jeweler's voice sparkles with excitement. "Of course, Mr. Finley! And the lucky lady's name?"

Grayson's eyes meet mine, victory dancing in them. "Melody Miller."
