The Missing Ring

The other night when I got home form karate Tia was in a bad mood. She hadn't gotten to go riding and Kendall had been a little difficult. The topper was that her wedding ring was lost. Kendall had it on the bed, was looking at it, and then needed to go to the bathroom. Somewhere between our bed and the bathroom it was gone and they couldn't find it. A bad ending to a long day, the first one back at work.

I lay with her, we talked a bit, played some Bookworm, and then dropped off the sleep. Last night I started to worry that the maids would come this week, vacuum the room and it would be gone. So I started my search.

First I started under the bed where I could reach, running my hands around all the edges. Then I pulled the mattress up and searched under the headboard. I found lots of trash and stuff  and dust, and had to take a couple breaks to clean up, but no ring. Then I started going through the sheets, pulling them all off.

No ring, but as I put things back together, it appeared. I'm not sure if it was in our remote holder, stuck in some sheets and I dislodged it or what, but I returned it to Tia, asking her if she'd marry me (again).

She said "yes," which is what I was hoping for :)
