Shadows played on the wall, unfamiliar as Olivia's eyes adjusted. She looked down at her hand, angling it gently to catch the silver light. Frowning, she pumped a dollop of scented lotion into her palm and leaned against the bureau.
The lotion released its fragrance as she rubbed it around on her finger, around the gold band. The absurdity of the moment struck her, the lyrics to a forgotten song rising in her throat as she tugged at her engagement ring: "Diamonds are forever." Tears stung her eyes, her throat tightening as she whispered, "When love's gone, they luster on."
A/N: The song Olivia sings is "Diamonds are Forever" (composed by Don Black and John Barry); lyrics appear for non-profit entertainment purposes.
