Love's Perfect Match

Hank rolled his eyes and ignored Yelena.

"Here's the thing you want, boss."

Boss? Yelena choked on herself. Man, that was a stupid question I asked. This is his shop. Of course, he knows it well.

The retail assistant placed the box on the table and slowly opened the lid, revealing a gleaming diamond ring with butterfly wings on the sides.

"Do you like it?"

Yelena was stupefied. The ring was immaculately designed. It's prettier than Elspeth's latest design. Elspeth sneezed the moment her friend had that thought. "Yeah, I love it."

Hank held up the ring and put it over her right middle finger. "Then wear it well. This'll tell everyone that you have a boyfriend."

Yelena blushed. A ring on my right middle finger? That's not a sign I'm taken. That means I'm engaged. "It's a bit too early, isn't it?"

"No. You're my girlfriend." He wore the other ring on his finger. "And don't take it off. I want to see the ring on your finger when we have a video call every night."

A lawyer and a bossy boyfriend. Ooh. She teased, "Someone's bossy."
