Dalton was about to say something when Vesta's phone rang. She excused herself to Dalton and answered the call.
"Hello?"
It was Leah, her voice electric with excitement. "Vesta! We just heard that Thorne spent an absolute fortune on a diamond a few days ago! Over four hundred million! Do you think… do you think he's going to propose to you tonight at your birthday dinner?!"
Vesta froze, her heart skipping a beat.
Dalton noticed her sudden change in expression. "Is everything alright? Did something happen?" he asked.
"No, it's nothing," Vesta replied, her heart still hammering from Leah's words. "When… when did this happen? How did you find out?"
"Grandma and I just heard. Someone who was there when Thorne bought it told us," Leah said, still buzzing. "A four-hundred-million-dollar diamond! A gem like that is practically priceless! Vesta, he spent that much to propose to you! He must really love you!"
Before Vesta could respond, Maureen, who had just gotten the news herself, chimed in from the background. "Leah, why did you tell her? You've ruined the surprise!"
