My sister called. She was crying happy tears. Her proposal got moved up three hours because her girlfriend's flight landed early. The ring box sat on my dresser. I was the keeper. I was also in pajamas eating cereal.
I ran. Not jogged. Full sprint through Kroger parking lot. One flip-flop lost its ⚡ to a sewer grate. I honored its sacrifice.
The ring bounced in my pocket. Gold color catching sun through cheap fabric. Red cubic zirconia heart winking like it knew secrets. I clutched it like a tiny treasure map to someone's forever.
Delivery complete. Proposal happened. Both said yes to everything. My foot got a blister shaped like Texas.
Here's my hill: rings carry stories before they carry vows. This one carried mine through asphalt heat and questionable fashion choices.
People dismiss inexpensive jewelry like it can't hold weight. Nonsense. This heart-shaped sparkler held panic, joy, and one very sweaty palm.
Cubic zirconia gets snobbed on. Unfair. It refracts light brilliantly. Scientists literally grow it in labs. That's cooler than digging random rocks from dirt.
The gold color plating keeps things affordable without looking like you found it in a cereal box. Though I was literally eating cereal when destiny called.
