Sighing a bit, Josh stared down at the floor a bit. He did not make her feel uneasy, worried or bad in anyway. This was nothing to be feeling like that for, or at least he hoped it was not. It was not, right?

Well...he just had to reveal it and see the result if he wanted to know. Looking into her hazel eyes back, the Gryffindor tried to smile some yet it only ended up to be a nervous one instead of the warm and relaxed one he wanted to show off.

Ha? What? Had she just said that he made sense? Eh...she was probably only trying to make him feel better because he did not think there was anything of sense with he had uttered so far. Yet since she now had asked the most important question of the day, Josh had to make up his mind, collect himself, be the brave and confident man he was and just do it.


''It is...'' so he began, but quickly gave it up thinking it would be better to show it instead. Opening the wooden box slowly, he carefully picked up the shiny thing inside. Which still looked shiny, shining little scarlet rays, despite the darkness. ''This...'' he started holding the necklace with thin silver chain close but towards her ''...was my mother's. And i...want you to have it.'' Yes this was the summary of what he had been trying to say so far. Good thing he had managed it without stuttering or else finally. ''She also used to work on gemstones and their magical properties. And i don't remember what was the magical properties of this one though but she used to wear it a lot.'' He knew everything was written in that little black notebook of hers but it had been to be found nowhere in the home...well...ex home. He was going to look for it again though, once he could properly get rid of Ryan's eyes on him.

''I know, by her words, that this is a red diamond which the rarest among all diamonds, though. And...'' he couldn't help but smile at this point ''I used to call it strawberry stone because...well...it looks like one, doesn't it?''

Didn't it?

Did she like it?

''I know this might be...kinda...too...whatever...for your taste. But you don't have to wear it. I just want you to have it because...'' *deep breath* ''...i think you are the next woman who is most important to me in my life.''

Woman? Eeeeeh...he meant girl. But he was thinking about his mother at the same time...so perhaps she would understand...that.
