"There you go again." She looked up to find her sister Amee leaning against the doorway.
"What?"
"You gon work a hole in your finger the way you spinning that ring around." Her fingers stopped.
"Oh. Um..."
"Don't know why you even kept that damn thing." She looked down at the ring on her finger. She twisted it and took it off.
"Girl, by the time I realized it was still on I was already on the plane." Amee chuckled.
"Why you keep holdin on to somethin that's dead?" She shrugged.
"It's pretty."
"Rae,"
"What, get out my business. Regardless of what happened, I like the damn ring. It's pretty." Amee chuckled.
"Mm okay. If you say so." She sighed.
"You won't believe where this thing was." Amee blinked.
"Where?"
"Kwasame threw it in the trash. After he took it off my finger while I slept." Amee pursed her lips.
"He did?"
"Pissed me the fuck off." Amee came into the room.
"I get where bruh is comin from but damn. It's like that?" She took a slow breath. She was still pissed about it days later. One of the reasons why she was straight up ignoring him. She could see why he did it. But for him to do something like that and then make a big deal about her being his was a whole other thing. She may not have said it, she may have been in shock but she had felt a real way.
"He started talkin bout some you belong to me shit. What the hell is that..." Amee balled up her lips.
"Rae, you have been dating him for two years... I mean... don't you kinda belong to him? He is your man." She looked at her sister like she had grown two heads.
"Are you crazy? Ebere Marshall belongs to no man. I belong to my damn self. Point. Blank. Period."
"Except that boy you loved in Japan...you did belong to him at one time right?" Her face grew sour and she sighed.
"What is with y'all? First Daddy now you. Why are y'all bringing up the past all of a sudden?" Amee sighed and sat down on her bed next to her.
"He was all you talked about Ebbie. Your whole entire world revolved around him." She scoffed.
"Yeah back when I was young dumb and brainless."
"I remember when you came home from Japan. You ain't want nothin to do with nobody. All you did was stay in your room and cry out for him. You didn't even eat or sleep. It was Hiroto this, Hiroto that..."
