 The anklet she brought has already been wrapped and kept to be given to her.

 ''Let's go''She tells Joshua who stands up and wraps his arms around her waist and they walk out together greeting and smilling at people they pass.

 ''This was so fucking boring''Joshua says and Camilla agrees with him.
