"Take it," he encouraged.
Lois took the box and gently lifted the lid, revealing a necklace - its fine white gold chain looping through a petite pendant featuring pink-tinged diamonds clustered into a floral design. She looked up to Clark, her face illuminated with pleasure. "Aw, Clark."
"Do you like it?" he asked - needlessly.
"I love it."
"I know that when you think of Hawthorn, you don't think of flowers," Clark said. "But this was the closest I could get to a hawthorn flower."
She laughed. "This is a hawthorn?"
"I couldn't find anything in brown and gold," he said. "So I hoped this would suffice."
That's so sweet! I love it!
(And imagine that Lois doesn't know what a hawthorn flower is...)
Also, thanks to Ann for the suggestion of the Hawthorn flower!
Awwww...
As for Seb, I wonder what he is up to with that opal - if, indeed, it is an opal.
I'm not happy about Lois and Clark being separated, but, ah well...
Ann
