The next day, John visited again but Marian was asleep. He found that the ring was taken off so, he looked for it inside the drawer and once found, he put it on her ring finger once again.
"Her illness is getting worse. You have to prepare yourself because any moment, she'd be gone." Veronica told John while looking outside the window. "I'll go outside to give you space." She just couldn't bare to watch the two of them being slowly separated by time and death.
Two hours later, Marian woke up and found John sleeping with his head leaning on the side of her bed. She saw the diamond ring on her finger again. "Why do you keep putting this ring on me when I'm asleep?" She asked but John was too tired to wake up from her mumbles.
Not long after, Veronica came inside and woke John from his sleep because Marian's parents came. "Stop dozing off. Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt are here." She whispered and poked his shoulders several times.
