Different gifts

Not wishing to eavesdrop
I never do
But how could iIhelp it,
My palate enjoying the superb filet mignon
While my ears were attuned
To the conversation at the next table
A couple celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary
Her husband was happy to present
Her with a charming bracelet
Which she accepted with lovely words
But he knew full well that the much more expensive
Red violet taafeita ring  on her
Right hand was a gift from
A ''very close friend'' of hers,
The type of gift beyond his means
But he was not jealous in the least
As she opted to wear it even on this
Special day.
 ''How is Gerry doing?'' he asked,
As he held her hand and
Deposited a gentle kiss on the ring.
