Chapter ３８

Is he going to propose? I’m not ready for it! David, seeing my terror

"Not what you think, Susan. “

"The Luna will have this ring. This ring protected them."

"Why hasn't your mother worn it since I arrived?" I gently remove the ring from David's hands. 

"After my father died from the attack, my mother couldn't stand it." I glance up, finding despair in David's blue eyes.

My other hand touches the sorrowful seam between his broad brows. "I see, David." I softly hum.

David sighs and lunges for my fisted hand. With his huge fingers, he unfolds my fingers and takes up the ring. David's thumb and pointer finger are on the ring.

"Would you wear it, Susan?" 

The genuine optimism in David's blue eyes and his deep rumble of a plea causes my throat to shut. He'd be devastated if I didn't accept. But I never intended to say no. I want to keep the ring for as long as I can.
