In order to get all the final details ready, he left the office for good at lunch time. Timing worked out perfectly so that when he was home, he had the place all to his own to get to work on his special set of plans he had in mind for her. But first things first, eat, then go for a walk. After that, get the plans in full motion, as this was going to be a day she’d probably never forget.
Entering the office after his sweet walk, he set out to correct one little piece of detail from his plan. He had to replicate the same due diligence he had seen her give the box. His setup had to be milli-fraction perfect. Part of teaching her a lesson would involve playing her game a lot better than she could and still manage to make the day one she’d remember sweetly.
A couple of measurements later, there was an identical box in the place of the one she had opened… right down to the minor details of it being opened, repackaged, re-closed, resealed. That way, when she opened it, she’d be convinced nothing had changed, not that she had any reason to think anything changed. Unlike her efforts to replace everything back in order based on cell phone photos, he had actual measurements. This way she wouldn’t be able to feel out any changes he had planned.
In with the bathing suit was a set of jewelry she’d been eying for some time… and some she’s never seen before. A nice set of pearls as well. In order to keep the weight the same, he replaced that seemingly unimportant square of fabric with another of different weight, added another trinket, and verified that the new set of contents weight identically to the first box, right down the balance of the distribution of the content. She would never suspect anything. And the bikini was returned as she’d be looking for it as well.
After all was verified, a quick check of his mapping software and a call to the limo, he was assured that the plans were moving without unexpected difficulties. It was imperative that the girlfriends made it in time to pick up his lady for their night on the town. As far as they knew, he was going to do the pickup from his house, the limo was going to take them into the city. A check of his iOS device showed that gals were all where they were supposed to be. Best he could tell, the cover stories he was using was working and no one suspected, and most importantly, his lady had no clue what would be coming her way.
A short check of his tech reassured him that he could still open his box that was secured to the floor. That would be very important much later that night. The secret contents were things she had never yet seen or used or been exposed to. He smiled knowingly and rubbed his hands together. She was going to thank him very dearly.
