She does

"So what did you have in mind?" I asked.

"I was thinking we could go shopping," she said as an Uber arrived. "I got a few ideas but I'm up for suggestions."

I just nodded as I got in. It was fascinating to watch Chloe. She stared out the window with her camera. Occasionally taking pictures.

"What made you wanna be a reporter?" I asked.

"Writing was my major in college but I was a bit too shy back then, it was Samuel that convinced me I had what it takes to live life to the fullest and take what I wanted. Capturing stories, especially the super interesting ones and putting them on display for the world sort of became my passion," she said while still looking out the window.

The car stopped and when I got out I saw a lot of stories in the center. Mostly food with a few novelty shops. One lock smith shop and a toy store popped out to me.

"I figured we could buy Clara a toy. She will be totally excited for that," she said grabbing my hand.

Running through the store we tons of toys, with a huge range, from boys action figures to folks to blocks for babies and even videogame systems. I didn't know Clara as well and I really had no idea what to get her.

"She will love whatever you pick," she said.

Yeah I suppose that made sense. I noticed a bear. It had a lock in its chest. It seemed cute and she did like stuffed animals. I noticed a flash as I picked it up.

With my decision made, we went to the checkout line. Apparently this store was willing to wrap gifts. So both of them were wrapped and we were back outside waiting for another Uber.

"Mind if we go in the lock smith shop?" I asked.

She nodded and followed. The guy didn't even greet us, he just continued reading the newspaper as we walked around. There sitting on a shelf I noticed two things. A shiny locket pick set. It looked beautifully well made. Much better than my current one that was following apart. Also an ABUS padlock. They were one of the more challenges types of locks I knew of.

"You seem into this stuff," she asked.

I nodded. "Samuel also wanted me to practice this. I never had a lock this hard to work on before. Also my pick set is pretty old and worn out."

She didn't wait even a moment. She snatched both items up and went to the counter. Before I could open my mouth. Protest about the price, or anything similar. The cash register dinged and the items were in a bag.

"I don't know what to say," I said.

She handed me the bag. "Say cheese."

I laughed the moment she said that and she took a picture.

"Thanks. I needed this. By the way. What city do you live in?" I asked.

"The big apple. New York baby!" She said. "Why you ask? Or did you...."

"You lied. You aren't submitting our wedding as a story are you? Why would New York care about two college girls proposing? You wanted to meet us and take plenty of pictures. You wanted to make the day we'd cherish if we lose. That was the only reason you came here isn't it?"

"It's not the only reason," she said. "But perhaps it was the main reason. Ya know your pretty smart when you apply yourself. The Uber is here. Let's go see how Clara reacts to them."

I smiled. For just a small moment. I kind of liked the idea of Chloe as a big sister.
