I roll my eyes a little and reach for my and Daniel’s glasses when suddenly Natalia reaches for my left hand, quick as a whip, a little hiss on her breath.

Shocked, I turn to her as she clasps my hand, pulling it closer to her so that she can stare at my ring.

I’m a little shocked by Natalia’s reaction as she turns her eyes once again to the sparkling diamond and then drops my hand as if it’s a hot coal. She turns her face up to mine again, glaring at me as she grabs her drink. “Don’t be a fool, girl,” she sneers. “That ring was never Daniel’s. If you have it, it’s because he wanted you to.”
