“I didn’t go to Miriam’s to look for you. I went to the river to look for the ring. I searched all night and never found it.”

Teresa hadn’t expected Jonathan to go back to the river for the ring, too. In the cold water, late at night, both of them had done the same foolish thing at different times. But it didn’t matter now. The marriage was over, and there was no going back.

“After all, you spent a lot on this ring. It wasn’t cheap, and you weren’t making much back then. It couldn’t have been easy. So I thought (should get it back.” Teresa paused for a moment.

The Maybach tore down the road. As he passed the river where he and Teresa had once fought and she’d thrown away the ring, Jonathan slammed on the brakes.

He got out and stared at the pitch–black water. Pulling the ring from his pocket, he wanted nothing more than to toss it in and let it sink to the bottom
