The ground felt invisible to Jessie after Shanz's calm and clear words rolled out of his tone. Her eyes followed him to land on the ring that she had been wearing and squeezed her fist secretly.
Why didn't she take it off?
The battle was endless in her mind. Maybe, a part of her wanted to keep it as their memory. Now that, Shanz had pointed out the ring in front of her, the weight of this ring felt too heavy on her. The ring not only carried the happy memories that they had but also the dreadful memories of his betrayal, scars that he left on her permanently. Still, she remembered the night when he vowed to marry her by putting this ring on her finger. No one knew about the ring exchange except them and after everything, Jessie didn't even want to share this incident with anyone.
Jessie found her voice getting lost for a few good seconds. After sucking a sharp breath, she muttered without facing his obvious eyes,
" I..I forgot to.. remove it.."
