"How the hell did you even end up with that many?" I laugh. The sand dollar is sitting on the towel, now, and Flo's watching it, waiting for it to move again, playing idly with the ring on my finger. The wedding ring I haven't been able to bring myself to take off.

Normally, I don't even notice it's there, but she's brought attention to it, and now, it's all I can do not to pull my hand away. I'm still smiling, but it feels off, and it's weird, but I can't really decide if I want him not to notice, or if it'd be better, somehow, if he would.
