"Not even one?" Xander pouted.

"Not even one," Alec agreed with Claire. "Just something simple and nice that will go with her dress, and we can all pitch in as a gift from all of us for her special evening." He glanced at Claire. "If that's okay with you? It's my spontaneous idea, so I totally understand if you weren't prepared for or even want to..."

"Xander, since your choosing power has been nerfed, you get to play distraction," Alec told him. "Find something, anything, to keep her occupied. Maybe even take her out of the store. Claire, you and I will make some fast choices. Sound good?"

"Fine, but I get some veto power," Xander warned.
 
"I'm banking on that," Alec grinned and headed toward the small but full display of jewelry.
