Not a question, but a comment.

Question

This is how clueless I am.  At reading the sentence about the missing ring I wondered at first;  "Did he steal a ring from her?"  It took this 61 year-old a minute to grasp that he took the ring in order to get her ring-size!  (I must admit, I would never have thought of that!)  Gary

Accepted Answer

Hi Gary, 
I think (and hope) that you are right and that romance isn't dead ...
The fact that she says at the end -
"J'ai vraiment hâte d'être à demain",  means to me that she thinks he is trying to match the ring size. I rather think that otherwise, she would probably have said -
Je vais appeler la police...
I like your cynicism, Paul! 
Hope this helps!

Answer

Or maybe, Gary, he IS just using his French charm to steal jewellery (maybe even to fund his taste in expensive restaurants). I look forward to hearing about who she is with in next year’s St Valentine’s exercise. I doubt the football-loving  Stéphane will be making a come-back though. He’s done his dash!

Answer

Good point Paul!!!  You are hilarious!  Even though I'm clueless, I am romantic enough to hope that the theft was done for the purpose of engagement, not embezzlement!  ;)

Answer

Lol!! I'm a woman and I couldn't understand the last part either, I also thought he was a thief but I didn't understand why she was looking forward to the following day. LOL LOL
