Chapter 27 - The Ring on a Chain

When Lily turned eleven, Clara finally placed Daniel’s wedding ring on a simple chain.

For herself.
She wore it beneath her blouse.
Lily noticed.
“You finally did it.”
“Yes.”
“Why now?”
Clara touched the ring.
“I don’t know.”
“That’s okay.”
Sometimes readiness had no explanation.
