Brigit thought about choosing a unique gift for Michael. She knew that the necklace he gave her came from the Crystal Cave, which was deep below. He told her about this special place and its inhabitants. She would like to meet them someday.

Suddenly her gaze stopped at the bookstore windows. There were beautiful copies of poetry and poems, first editions. She thought Michael would appreciate such a gift. He told her that Vincent had instilled in them a love of poetry. It could not have been a better gift. She went into the bookstore to buy William Shakespeare sonnets.
