“It’s beautiful.” She breathed. “You got this for me? Why?”
He gave a half-shrug. “Because I wanted to.” He lifted it out of the box and moved to place it around her neck, moving aside her hair so he could clasp the chain. “Do you like it?”
She raised one hand to the pendant, surprised and touched and confused. “I love it. Thank you so much.”
“I wanted you to have something that I gave you.”
“And now I do.” She stared at the pendant in the mirror, telling herself that Caleb was so rich that the cost of this necklace would be trivial to him. It was just a little thing. Not meaningful at all.
It felt meaningful to her, though.
Caleb was watching her face closely, and she smiled at him. “You must still be feeling like a caveman, wanting to place your brand on me.”
He laughed and kissed her, and they fell back into their normal interaction as she went to clean up a little and pulled her dress back on.
Kelly liked feeling this way. She liked being this person. A woman who might get fucked over a dresser on the way to a party. Simply because they wanted each other so much.
She stared at herself in the mirror and wondered if she could ever be that person for real.
Not long afterward, they were ready to leave. Kelly was wearing the red dress. Her face was still a little dewier than she preferred, since she hadn’t redone her makeup. And her hair was loose, falling in tousled, messy waves, all the way down her back.
Caleb was looking very pleased with himself.
