The Ruby Locket
“My hair slapped at my cheeks as my shirt billowed around me. Red lightning, something I’d never seen before, streaked in front of me against a slate gray sky. A clap of thunder startled me, jarring me all the way to my bones.
But the weather didn’t matter. I was determined to drive into town to order some flowers for the wedding. I had to have something about the wedding that was mine. Didn’t I? And yet Ivan had been so good to me, arranging everything. Paying for everything. ...I didn’t deserve all the attention. And yet a woman wanted to put her signature on such an important event. Perhaps I was just being childish. Too bad Anne was busy. She could have come along. But I would go and order something wonderful. Maybe hundreds of antique roses with loads of baby’s breath.
