a continuation of here for @cowboy-tumbleweed
“i see.” flora knew exactly why they were there, of course, but acknowledging it? she could hardly stand to do it. so toby bringing light to the obvious elephant in the room made her skin prickle with sheer and utter horror that they were really going to have this conversation. “it was a little while back,” she admitted, forcing heavy feet to carry her further into the room. she could see the ring more clearly now. it had been a decision that she’d agonised over — one she’d lost sleep over. then it hadn’t even mattered. “you weren’t supposed to know. i… had this thought, one day, that maybe we were there." clearly she was wrong. so unbelievably beyond wrong. "then i found myself looking at rings... and then i was buying one and then..." she trailed off, shoulders lifting in an uncomfortable shrug. and then they were over. she couldn't say as much, though. surely they would know what she meant without words.
