The dream was interrupted right before she could even see the face of the other party connected to the string and somehow, she felt like she needed to see the other party's face.
When Aileen recalled the thing about the ring, she subconsciously looked down to check her ring finger and a mix of shock and confusion clouded her feature when she found out that she was indeed wearing a ring!
As far as she could remember, she did not have the ring before going to bed. In fact, she did not recall owning any ring at all. So she had no idea where did she get the ring and why she ended up wearing it.
Aileen tried to remove the ring but it was simply too tight to slip out from her finger.
"This won't do,"
She muttered under her breath as she put her hands under running water.
She was planning to wash her hand with soap hoping that it would help her to get the ring out from her hand, yet even after many attempts, it was to no avail.
