"They look pretty cheap but I really put thought into the words." She hands me a ring that has small writing on it. It reads 'You are the blood in my veins.' Tears flow out of my eyes while I reread it over and over again. Frances reads hers and that one read 'You are the smell before the rain.' "I only chose this one because I know you love rain." Frances says quietly. I look up to see Frances crying while she reads her ring. I hug her one last time before my mom walks out and tells me to get in the car. "We'll forever remain best friends Frances Madise. I love you." I tell her. " I love you too Xtal." She says as she wipes tears away and slips the ring on.
