Capítulo 86: Chapter 86: New Season – New Beginnings

SCARLETT

October

Season opener.

I look down at the sweet little ring that nestles perfectly on my right ring finger. It's got several small, gold leaves that intertwine, small diamonds sparkling through the vines and leaves. Viktor gave it to me as soon as we returned from Russia. He looked a little nervous when he pulled out the box, which made me nervous too. Even though we've both acknowledged we love each other, I'm not sure I'm ready for more just yet. He bought a gorgeous house in Summerlin and asked me to move in. Even though living together felt too soon, I couldn't turn him down. He's become a part of me.

This ring is a promise. That's what he said. He told me it reminded him of the curves of my body, of the waves in my hair, of the way our limbs intertwined after we made love.
