Pure rounded gold.

A golden ring…

“What is this?”

“It’s a gift”

“Gift from who?”

“Me”

“You?”

“Yes, You.”

“Okay I’m confused.”

“How come? This isn’t obvious?”

“Actually not at all.”

“Good.”

“What do you mean good?!”

“I’m glad it’s not obvious.”

“Why? Would you tell me what this is about? Don’t test my patience.”

“Fine. This is about me.”

“You?”

“Yes, You.”

“You are willing to drive me crazy 24 7 for the rest of your life aren’t you?”

“Yes I am, because I am you and you are me…”

“You are one strange man…”

“So?”

“Yes.”

He smiles genuinely, grabs the ring, and throws it out the window right into the vast sea…

She stares at him, appalled.

“Did you just throw the ring?”

“I did.”

“Aren’t you supposed to give it to me?”

“Who says?”

“Umm I don’t know, normality maybe?”

He laughs… She blushes…

“I just confided to the seas the dear secret that you are my soul-mate forever, and that not even a ring this costly matters to prove it… I will keep throwing them away to the whole universe as long as I’m alive, in this life or in another… Maybe one day the sea would become golden… Centuries and centuries later, having bought you one in each life, the seas would be full of our irrational, complete love…”

“You’re a freak.” She couldn’t help her grin…

“I…”

“I love you too.”

“Would you kiss me now?”

“No… I want to hold you first, just to make sure this isn’t a dream…”

“Actually, it is.”

The End
