You have at least five rings on now.
Seven. If you count (I turn my hand around so he can see my thumb) this one. Three are wedding, then these ones-
Right so can't you just add it? I'd rather not see it fly out of a pocket or be sent through the washing machine because you have a tendency to-
Be careless?
No, I believe distracted is the word I would choose. Busy. Not really too concerned with the loose contents of your pockets.

Are you really still carrying that key?
I reach into my dress and hold it up. Are you surprised?
Not at all. But I still think if you're not going to wear the ring I gave you at least let me keep it in the safe.
Fine. I hand it to him. He takes it as his face falls.
I was hoping you'd put up a fight, at least.
What's the point?
Passion. I guess, importance to you. If it's a treasured object that you carry I would think you maybe find it a talisman and would fight to keep hold-
It weighs me down.

Why is it so important that I wear it?
I need to..I need to weigh you down. Just in case.
Just in case?
Just in case.
