“Awe, this is adorable! Thank you!”

Aaliyah’s eyes lit up the second she lifted the box lid, her smile spreading wide and warm. Nestled inside was the necklace you’d picked for her. A string of delicate white pearls, smooth and luminous, strung just short enough that it almost resembled a choker.

She slipped it around her neck with care, fingertips brushing against the pearls as if they were tiny treasures. The soft glow of the necklace contrasted perfectly with her skin, making her look like she’d stepped out of a painting.

Aaliyah tilted her head toward you, grinning, her curls bouncing with the movement. “It’s so pretty… I can’t believe you got me this,” she said, her voice carrying both awe and affection.

The way she touched the necklace, like it was already one of her most prized possessions, told you she wasn’t just being polite. She truly loved it.
