Jones's request was just too hard to refuse. I dug out the diamond ring, slid it on, snapped a picture, and sent it his way.
In no time, Jones was on the phone again, "I saw it. Looks nice,"
I responded," I'm quite fond of the design too. It just wasn't meant to be."
Then I asked him, "Where are you now?"
He reassured me, "Don't sweat it; I won't do anything stupid. If you're ever unhappy, just think of me as your plan B." He continued, "I'll be home tomorrow. My folks are pressuring me to propose to Scarlett, but I turned them down."
So that was the reason for his family feud. It hurt to hear, but there was nothing I could do. From an outside perspective, Scarlett was a catch and a good match for Jones.
He went on, "Anyway, I've been away for a few days. They probably won't bother me anymore." He sounded like a kid saying that.
