the disappearance
One morning, as I was getting ready, I noticed something was off. I couldn’t find the engagement ring.

Panic surged through me, and I immediately began searching the entire house. Drawers, cabinets, under the bed — nothing was off-limits.
The ring was nowhere to be found. A sense of dread washed over me. This couldn’t be happening. I had to find it before Mark noticed it was gone.
