8PM- 
"So- you shall return to live in the Far East?" the Count asked.
Princess Lei lowered her eyes and then looked up into his.
"Yes, my life is in the Far East- not here in Paris."
"I see- before you go I have a small farewell gift."
The Count walked over to a small unusual cabinet, turning the archaic lock with a skeleton key.
"Princess, safeguard this small box & only open it on a special day. It is a token of our friendship."
The Count bowed & gave her the small box. They held hands for a moment and brushed cheeks. She took the small box into her hands, exploring the highly unusual and archaic object- something that seemed to be from a previous century. She smiled and then they said goodbye.
A few moments later later the Count stood at the balcony and watched the Princess fly away as if a butterfly in the night. Just like the laughing Buddha and the hidden door leading to the Pearl of Dreams, she was now a closed chapter in his life. But the Yang diamond had found a new home.
