scar tissue.

i met up with a long time friend this weekend, we kinda bumped into each other and the only image that came to my mind when i saw her was her eyes briming over with tears as she flashed the simple gold band with a single diamond stud on it, telling me excitedly about Nick's proposal....,i was soooo excited, this girl had kissed too many frogs and we all decided it was good for her to finally find a prince...
but as i scanned her in the pretty floral dress and scarf... i noticed the taletale signs of a ring...not there anymore. as we talked i could not help but notice Nick did not punctuate our conversation so i braved and asked, suspecting the worst..' hows Nick'
she frowned leaned forward and asked 'who?'
i did not pursue it any further... the blank icy pain in her eyes could not have disguised themselves no matter what.
