Summary

 * “That Night, a Forest Grew”

Lila sells her large art installation and invites Dexter to dinner at a fancy restaurant. When they arrive, after dark, the hostess says, “I’m afraid we just can't seat you tonight without a reservation. As you can see, we are completely at capacity.”

Dexter shrugs it off, but Lila speaks up. “No, I'm sorry. You have to help us. I made this reservation two months ago. This is our ten-year anniversary. This is the place where Dexter proposed to me -- on the patio, in front of the fountain. He told me to make a wish, and when I looked down, there was my diamond ring, sparkling under the water.” Lila quickly presents her left hand on which there is a beautiful ring. The trusting hostess believes Lila’s story, saying that it's “so romantic.”

Once they’re seated, Dexter tells Lila, “In case you're wondering, there's nothing sparkling under that water tonight.” Lila, amused, replies, “I'm sure you'll dazzle me somehow.”
