"Chief, where did you go?"
"It took me so long to find you both," said Xiang Wai too.
Raelle looked at the two of them panting and asked, "Are you done choosing your rings?"
Xiang Wai and Cloe shared a hostile look before saying, "Yeah. It's done."
"Good," was Raelle's response. "Can we leave now?" This question was for Cloe with whom she came here.
"You still remember that you came here with me? I thought you completely forgot all about me."
"If you hadn't gotten on my nerves, why would I walk away?"
"Yes, yes. It's my fault. I'm sorry. But it's my lifelong event. I want it to be memorable and perfect too."
"Do you remember how I proposed to my husband?"
"I do."
"I didn't use a ring," reminded Raelle. "And I don't think it makes a difference either."
"It's a sense of ritual, Chief!" said Cloe. "You really don't get it."
