Although everything seemed fine on the surface, Damien Sterling couldn't shake off a nagging feeling that something was off. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was until he glanced down at his finger again. That's when it hit him—the ring.
The ring didn't seem sharp or dangerous, so why would it need to be taken off to care for him? While the explanation made sense at first, the more he thought about it, the more it didn't add up.
Riley Turner noticed the suspicion in Damien Sterling's eyes and quickly intervened. "Alright, Grandpa, you don't have to cover for me anymore. I accidentally lost the diamond from the ring and sent it in for repair. You were upset about it before, and we had a fight over it. Grandpa didn't want to tell you, afraid it would make you angry again."
