"You're the best gift ever," Romeo said, touching her face to comfort her. "My grandma will be over the moon to see you."
"But I can't just show up empty-handed," Arabella said, inquiring, "What did your grandma like most?"
She had to come up with something.
"Miss Bella, Shirley McMillian loved flowers, paintings, and playing chess. She's even heard your music," he informed.
Arabella looked skeptical.
"It's true! You can ask Mr. McMillian if you don't believe me."
"That's right," Romeo said gently, "My grandma did listen to your music before, and she loved it."
So, all she had to do was play a few tunes for Shirley?
If Shirley liked chess, Arabella did have a top-notch chess set made of gold. Even the chessboard was worth a fortune but it was too late to have it delivered now.
"Didn't you give my grandma a gold bracelet before?" Romeo reminded her. “That bracelet is still on my grandma's wrist, and you don't need to prepare anything else. Just show up."
Finally, Arabella decided to bring the chess set next time, persuaded by Romeo.
Before long, their car pulled up in front of Fairfield Manor.
Romeo, leading Arabella by the hand, walked through the front door, with Brodie showing the way.
