After being estranged for a year, Ben and David are back together and more in love than ever. Their commitment ceremony is approaching, and they've taken the chance to extend a business trip to Paris into a pre-commitment, pre-honeymoon break. They owe their present happiness to Barbara, who has a problem only they can solve, and rubies are involved. Ben has plans of his own - but they owe her too much to turn her down. Ben and David were introduced in Chris Quinton's Breaking Point.
