Seth Quinn's hand slipped back into his pocket, his fingers tapping lightly on the small jewelry box. 'I should just give this to her now,' he thought. 'Maybe if she accepts it, she'll be too embarrassed to stay mad.'
Since no one had picked up the song after Poppy Vance, the main lights in the private room had been turned back on, making it a little too bright.
Everyone would see if he gave her the gift now, but after a moment's hesitation, Seth Quinn gripped the jewelry box firmly in his hand anyway.
Across the room, Poppy Vance stole a glance at Seth Quinn before leaning in to whisper something in Linden Jennings's ear. Linden looked slightly stunned and asked in disbelief, "You really saw her? She's back?"
"Of course, it's true!" Poppy Vance insisted, certain she hadn't been mistaken.
But Linden Jennings was still skeptical. "Are you sure you weren't mistaken?"
