One of the reasons I hate going shopping with my fiancé is that she always encourages me to spend extra money that I just don’t have. I mean who would have thought that a casual visit to the department store in search of pillows and scented candles could have resulted in me racking up my credit card buying her diamonds. It amazes me how good she has gotten at this game. There was actually a time in our relationship when she was too shy to approach me for things that she wanted. I think that day leaving the store the gleam on her face was brighter than that diamond.
