“Of course it’s all right, that ring’s been in our family for so long you know? I think it first entered my family in the mid 1800’s so it’s got quite a history attached to it.” Bonnie said, “Honestly though she gave him that ring in her will saying she hopes he finds someone to give it too; I’m sure she’s happy to know he has and that you appreciate it so much.”
“I do..” she whispered, looking down at it a moment still before putting her glove back on. Her hand was getting cold with the chill. “Very much. The meaning behind it and just everything makes it very special to me..Maybe someday you can tell me the history.”
She began to make snowballs again, wishing to get quite the arsenal in case Jack decided to come down. “I was planning for it to be in the spring..maybe during April when the cherry blossom trees were in full bloom. So I was hoping you two could be here then? If it isn’t too much trouble..”
“April? Well as mother of the groom I have to be there! Just call us to let us know when and where and we’ll be there. Oh! Next time Jack checks his bank statement he’ll see there’s been a generous gift. Call it a make up for not being there when you announced it, okay?” Bonnie asked.
