You offered me priceless minutes

I tried not to think it was a ring, but I felt my heart thudding. I undid the bow and removed the small lid, where a key was resting on the red velvet. I could say I was a little disappointed, but I wasn't: it was a car key.

I looked at him looking for further explanations.

- I know you wanted another car... So I bought it for you.

- But I said I would, Noah. With my salary.

- I wanted to give it to you.

- And what did you do with my other car?

- I had it taken to your parents' house.

- You did what? I asked, imagining I hadn't heard correctly.

- I hope you do not mind. We don't need it at all. And it's still one less problem for you. - He smiled.

- Noah, how could I let you stay away from me for so long?

- I confess I don't understand. – he mocked.

- I want to see my new car.

We went down in the elevator and I was anxious.

- Looks like you expected something else inside the box.

I laughed:

- Not even.
