One
“Let me see it again!” A round of excited voices called out, a few hands reaching for the ring perched on her finger. Currently, several women were crowded around the nurse’s station in the clinic where they worked, admiring the new addition to Fiona’s hand. A gorgeous diamond ring sat sparkling beneath the fluorescent lights on her third finger.
One of the nurses and Fiona’s close friend, Mia, widened her eyes and leaned closer to the diamond ring, her lips parted in awe. “Damn! This thing must have cost him a fortune.”
Which made her frown. It wasn’t as though her new fiance was struggling for money. He had a damn good career and was able to afford the finer things in life but she felt as if this whole thing was a bit ridiculous.
Spending so much on a ring just for her? She pulled her hand back and looked down at the chunk of diamond sitting prettily on her finger with a slight frown. Was she even worth that?
“I know,” she mumbled.
“Oh, don’t tell me you’re feeling guilty over someone actually spending money on you. Not everyone feels the need to be as thrifty as you.” Mia circled the desk, pausing to pick up a stack of patient folders that she had been working through. “Besides, Cole’s your soulmate, let him spoil you.”
Fiona watched her closest friend brush her blonde hair over her shoulder and turn to make her way into the file room. The other nurses returned to their tasks and the group dispersed. In the relative quiet, Fiona could only stare down at her ring once more as Mia’s words echoed in her head.
Cole’s your soulmate…
Except, she wasn’t so sure about that anymore.
