Gael hadn't seen the watch as it was still inside the box, yet he already decided that he would like it. It didn't even matter what she got him. It could've been a friggin' Mickey Mouse watch from a kid's toy shop, and he would still like it as long as it was from her.
She put some thought into getting him a gift without even knowing when they would see each other again, so it touched him. And not only that—the message she wrote on the card was from the truth or dare game they had back on the island. It was when he answered her question… before she dared him to kiss her.
It was undeniable that what they had back on the island meant something to her as much as it did for him. And it was frustrating where they were at the moment—confusing and messy.
