hung around his neck. anger spiked to find it missing
and he knew that what she had to give to him – how
could she have gotten it? the chain never left his neck
and the silver ring was always felt through the clothing.

done wrong. teeth grit and it was tempting to snatch it from

steps forward and held a hand out for her to place the ring
in.

       ❛ ɪᴛ ɪs ᴀ ᴘʀᴇᴄɪᴏᴜs ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀʏ ᴏғ ᴍɪɴᴇ.
