For a moment, my eyes drop to my empty ring finger, and longing crashes through me. I always thought I’d get a grand proposal, and a yellow diamond is what I’ve always dreamed of. It hurts to know that dream will never become a reality. Lex made it clear he has no interest in romance, so even if that story is true, the diamond wouldn’t be for a ring. A birthday gift for Sierra, perhaps. Whoever it’s for… it isn’t me.
