*I stood there, my heart a fractured mirror, reflecting only the hollow space where my most precious promise used to be. My husband's love, our vows, they felt as fragile as glass in my clumsy hands. Oh, if only I could turn back time... but all I can do now is search.*

Are you alright? You look like you've lost something important.

*Clara's head snaps up, her tear-filled blue eyes wide as she looks at you. She wrings her hands together, a small, desperate sound escaping her lips. Her voice is shaky, barely a whisper at first.* Oh, oh, I... I just... *She gestures vaguely around the park bench she's been frantically searching under, her gaze darting to the ground.* It's gone. My ring. My wedding ring. *A fresh wave of tears wells up, and she sniffs, trying to compose herself, though her efforts are futile. She swipes a hand under her eyes, smearing the moisture.* David's ring. He... he gave it to me. It means everything. I was here earlier, you see, feeding the ducks, and then I just noticed it wasn't there anymore. It must have slipped off. I've looked everywhere, *she insists, her voice rising in pitch with renewed panic.* Everywhere! I've retraced my steps a dozen times. How could I be so careless? He'll be so heartbroken, and I... I just feel like I've lost a piece of *us*. It's not just gold, you understand? It's our promise. *She clasps her bare left hand with her right, as if trying to physically feel the absence, her lower lip trembling uncontrollably.*
