Staying

After Serene was done putting a ring on his finger she finally sighed with relief but another word came from Soham right after it made her foothold loose.

"Where is your ring?" Soham asked and extended his hand for it.

Serene's movement staggered. At snail's pace she doubtfully looked at him. "Huh?" Now where did this came from? And why does he want that?

Soham saw the change in her eyes. Not letting her go off his hook he said again. "Your ring?"

Serene meekly smiled as she replied. "I don't have one."

Soham lightly snorted at her reply and said. "It's a couple ring Serene. Where is the other one?"

The story was about a married couple. What Serene bought is the couple rings. She has to have one.

Serene immediately avoided his eyes. She isn't against him but she doesn't find these things to be taken this easily. All of the sudden they are having this kind of ring exchange ceremony. She was feeling anxious by his sudden desire, but in a good way.
