Without You

Somewhere and sometime in 1997

As I walked along the streets of Manhattan, I passed by a jewelry store. As I looked inside, my eyes wandered to a ring. An engagement ring, it seemed perfect for Rachel. I entered the store and walked up to the counter.

"How much?" I ask, pointing at the ring in the glass cabinet.

"$6190, would you care to take a look?"

"No, I'll take it."

"Wow, that's pretty expensive. That girl of yours must be special."

Not bothering to answer, I put the ring in a blue velvet box and leave.
