He must have thought she was still sleeping as he headed to the bathroom where a moment later she heard the shower. Kiwi sat up and stared outside the window. Birds sang near the grapevines and she heard people laughing below the open window. Happiness was clearly catchable—she let out a sigh. All of this could be hers, always. She picked up the ring and tried it on her finger. The sparkling diamond was in a class all by itself. The shower turned off and she tugged her ring off and set it back on the dresser.
