A man who reuses a proposal ring.
Was he thoughtless?
Or was he insincere?
His husband’s first love gently let Morin know that the ring her husband had used to propose to her was the same ring he had once used to propose to his first love.
Three years into their marriage, at what she believed to be the happiest moment of her life, Morin ran headlong into a devastating truth and shattered. A crack split through the moon jar of a heart she had held for her husband.
‘Let’s get married.’
The temperature, the breeze, the humidity, even the sound of his breathing on the day he slid that ring onto her finger are still vivid in her mind.
Had she meant so little to him?

‘Let’s get married.’
That spring night, cheap ring and all, the moment he slid it onto her finger was genuine. Drunk, slipping the ring onto his wife’s pale finger, he thought that this might just be the wisest choice he’d ever made. And that hunch proved right.
Marriage to his wife was as cozy as a nest packed with down, as thrilling as watching a sunrise together, as full as the sunset he once saw on Prince Edward Island.
So… he must have forgotten.
He forgot so completely that he even fooled himself, and lived without a care in the world.
He thought it was the perfect crime.
