“Wait.”

I keep moving.

“Blackwell.”

I take a drink.

“What?”

“Put your hand back.”

“No.”

“PUT YOUR HAND BACK.”

Everyone starts looking.

Kane squints at the screen.

Vale moves closer.

Leo says, “What am I supposed to be seeing?”

Drew points so hard at the phone I half expect his finger to come through it.

“His left hand.”

I look down.

Wedding ring.

Right.

Apparently I have adjusted quickly.

Drew has not.

He goes pale.

Then red.

Then makes a sound I have never heard from a grown man.

“WHY ARE YOU WEARING A WEDDING RING?”

The kitchen explodes again.

Hannah nearly drops a spoon.

Stella gasps.

Jalen chokes.

Kane says something that disappears beneath Drew's shouting.

Leo simply stares at me.

Vale closes his eyes.
