Will you wear this?" The diamond wasn't large as diamonds go, but from Ellie's perspective it was enormous. She never in her wildest dreams expected jewelry. "Is it real?" she asked in a breath. When he nodded, she asked, "Can we afford this?" "Ellie, we can't afford anything!" He laughed. "Noah, have you lost your mind? I don't need something like this! I'd rather have a washing machine!" He took her chin in his big hand, tilted her face up and said, "Ellie, I love you. I want you to have something special. I wish it was more special-you're a nine-carat woman." He shrugged. "It's a speck. You can hardly see it with the naked eye." "It's incredible." He gave her a kiss. "I don't know how you manage to be so grateful for such simple things, but I want you to know I'll never take that for granted. It's priceless. You're the jewel!" She put her arms around his neck and held him close, kissing him back. "You're one crazy preacher," she said.
