Chapter 20: The Ring
My finger is bare.
I turn my hand over in the lamplight, as if the ring might be hiding in my palm.
"What is it?" Damien murmurs.
"Nothing. Sleep."
His eyes close again.
I stand very still beside the bed.
The ring was on in the ambulance. It was on when I held the lamp.
Someone took it off me while I was bent over his bleeding head.
The television on the wall is muted, a news crawl running across the bottom.
KASTAR HOLDINGS PRESS EVENT, 9 A.M.
A podium. A banner. Gareth, in a fresh suit, smiling.
I look at his hand on the screen.
Between his thumb and finger, a thin gold glint.
"Dina," I say, out loud, to nobody.
She's already in the doorway.
"I saw," she says. "Ava, I'm so sorry. Someone took your locker bag from the ER bay when we moved him."
