The box is wrapped in heavy, cream-coloured paper. Inside is a watch, stainless steel with a black matte face and silver roman numerals.

On the back, the date is inscribed, along with a verse: I love you because the earth turns 'round the sun.


There is also a note.

Dear Bernard,

Awfully traditional, aren't I? But it's a fitting gift for today, because time is something we have heaps of.

I can't wait to see you.

Won't be long, now.

All my love,

Nymphadora
