"So you can keep the diamond ring."
Norma had stopped trying to convince him of the truth a long time ago. He wasn't the man she loved anymore. She feared nothing would bring her husband back.
Her heart was in pieces, shattered by what she had to do.
Her hand shook as she wrote the letter. The fountain pen in her hand felt too heavy compared to a cheap pen she could but 30 of for $3. The stationary she wrote on seemed too fancy for such an impermanent goal. I'd be thrown away after he saw, she was sure.
It was such a waste to use such expensive items when the less expensive utilities worked just as well.
The makeup she wore was covering her face and making her feel like a clown. From the ruby lipstick to the mascara that elongated her lashes, she felt overwhelmed.
She finally looked at the diamond ring that rested on her finger. It was gorgeous—and expensive. He'd proposed after only a month of his business taking off. By then he was already filthy stinkin' rich and getting richer. Currently, he was the second richest man alive, soon to be the first.
Carefully, she slid the ring off of her finger and placed it as quietly as possible on the paper. She licked her thumb and snuffed out the candle light.
With that, she walked out the door, tears glistening in her eyes.
She had given him back the promise he made to love her forever, given him the ring to keep. But though she'd relinquished his promise and ring, it certainly didn't mean nothing.
A/N: Another angsty drabble for ya. Currently, I'm only able to write angst apparently. This will most likely be the last drabble for a couple weeks because I'm heading off to Florida tomorrow morning and I won't have a whole lot of time to be on the internet, because I'll be going to Disney World and Universal Orlando. Please leave reviews and requests though so I'll have something to write once I get back. =)
