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, I have something to tell you…”

“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.

Eliana felt uncertain. Preston had never wanted to come to her home before. Something must have happened.
