"Well, we best better be going before the sunsets", said Michael after helping Maris with her necklace, handing her the matching wrap to her black dress, and pulled his left arm, so Maris can grab on to it. "You two have a good time," said Consuela, "and don't stay out to too late". "Oh, don't you about a thing, I'll have back by home by 9". said Michael in his comical retort. After saying good-bye to her, Michael and Maris headed out the front door towards his SUV, and he opened the door for Maris as she climbed in, and he closed it. Michael got in, started the ignition;in addition, to pulling out of the driveway and driving out into the street en route to Martoni's where Michael made a reservation for dinner that evening.

While driving along the Pacific, Maris asked Michael to turn the radio, so she can hear come, and he did. Sam Cooke's "You Send Me", just happened to be on the radio, and Michael was moving head back and forth while listening to the music. "Thank you for the jewelry set, Michael", said Maris, "that was the sweetest the thing any man has ever done for me". "You're welcome," he replied.
