It must have been a slow day at the jewellery store because the girl behind the counter encouraged me to try on some aspirational rings.
My top pick: a 3 carat beauty going for only (wait for it!) $35,999.
(Does anyone really spend that much on a ring? Come on–fess up!)
I must admit it looked pretty darn good on my hand.
I snapped a picture to show my sailor.
“What do you think?” I asked after sharing the specs and the price. “It is Valentine’s Day.”
“Let’s go to Save On Foods. I’ll get you three carrots there.”
I did say no chocolates, so three bright crunchy carrots isn’t such a bad idea.
