"Darling, instead of a ring, I have a more special gift for you," Dalgliesh gently took Colneth's hand, kissed it where a ring would be, and then pulled out a box hidden behind him, handing it to Colneth.
"Hmm? What's this?" Colneth, curious about another gift besides the ring, opened the box but was left speechless upon seeing its contents.
Inside the box were a pair of silver nipple rings, designed with gun-like patterns that resembled earrings for women.
However, Colneth wasn't a woman, so he couldn't fathom the purpose behind Dalgliesh's gift.
Apart from this pair of small items, there was something even more bewildering beside them.
It was a black "gun," nearly identical in appearance and material to the real gun Dalgliesh had previously owned.
The sleek black gun body had a soft yet firm texture, giving Colneth an unsettling feeling.
