Frankly, I'd put my time into something else besides building a new jewelry bench for her. It sounds kind of grasping to me. Kind of supplicating. As a 32nd degree Supplicator, I recognize one of my own. Yo, bro. (hairdog gives LG the secret handshake).
Do you think she might already be involved with someone? (Nopkins infidelity premonition post in three, two, one.... Hmm, okay maybe it's too late for him to post.)
Finally, don't be too hard on yourself about peeking into the diary. She might have wanted you to see it anyway, although she'd probably never admit it.
