Her mouth managed to curl up into a sad smile and she nodded when it came to the ring. Perhaps if she had that ring on her finger, nobody would treat her as that man had. She frowned then and said, "I knew it would happen." Not that it made it any easier, she thought bitterly.

Her eyes met his then and she sighed.
