‘Is that a pink diamond in the center…?’
"Oh my, it’s a ring!"
Julianne's voice rang out above my head. I hadn't taken my eyes off Aiden's gift until then. Aiden was royalty, after all, and the amount of pocket money he received, even as a child, was unimaginable, so a trinket like this might have been something he could have casually afforded.
‘...Actually, no. It's unimaginable for an ordinary commoner like me to understand an eight-year-old buying such luxury items. Just look at this diamond! It’s huge!’
"Uh, Aiden..."
"I had the ring sized up on purpose. It should fit comfortably when you become an adult, but if your hands stop growing before it does, we can resize it then."
"No, that's not what I’m saying…"
