You will lose everything in one go before you even realize it.

After finishing the breakfast with Aiden, Arwen took a while before leaving for Foster Villa. She had taken the ring off her finger, as Daniel had reminded her, but it was still with her. 

Yes, she had grown attached to the ring over time, but definitely not in the way Aiden thought. While wearing the ring, she never saw it as a symbol of her and Ryan's relationship. To her, it was always a gift from Aunt Beca, who had placed it on her finger on her nineteenth birthday, saying it was meant for her. 

But it was only today, she realized it never was. She should have known back then when Ryan had refused to put it on her finger, forcing her to wear it herself. 

"Madam!" 

Alfred's voice pulled her from her thoughts, and she looked at him with a slight tug between her brows. "Yes?" she asked, following his gaze ahead.
