Eliana stood downstairs in a daze. She silently digested the outrageous information she had just found out.

The sound of her phone ringing in her pocket brought her back to her senses.

The call was from Preston.

Preston…the ring…

Eliana smacked her forehead. She had completely forgotten about finally getting the ring back.

This was her chance to tell him the good news.

Eliana answered the phone, filled with excitement.

“Preston, I have something to tell you…”

“Where are you now?” Maurice interrupted her in a low voice.

“What? I’m at home.”

“I want to come see you.”

Preston wanted to see her? Did he already know that she had gotten the ring back? That would be impossible.
