A shocking reveal
“Do you know what the numbers mean? The ones that are on the ring?” Kevin moved closer, the lines in his face contoured by the moonlight. He looked very different from her. Nancy never looked much like her family, them all being blonde and her having dark hair. She took after her father, at least that’s what her mother told her. Kevin moved to grab the ring. Nancy let him. “Do you know what the numbers mean, Nancy?” She shook her head. She drew her conclusions as soon as she saw the unknown object. She wanted to believe there was a reason for her grandfather’s death. Any reason at all.
She thought the numbers might be some kind of date. But it didn’t seem like it had anything to do with her. The date 03-02-1988 meant nothing to her. She was born on the twelfth of December in 1989. Her winter birthday was celebrated every year with grandpa Tuck taking her out for hot cocoa. Nancy bit her lip. The memories still hurt.
But the truth that Kevin revealed next would hurt her even more.
