Jack's Ring

Jack's Ring
2019
Sydney, NSW, Australia
Derek's losing a game of Pokemon (badly) to Pietr when he pauses, eyes down.
Pietr raises an eyebrow.
"Jack, he, uh, had a ring—like that—once."
Pietr flicks his eyes to his wedding band, back to Derek's face.
"Almost got married, 'fore he went to Alaska."
Pietr blinks.
Derek goes distinctly gray. "Prob'ly shouldn'tve said that. Forget I said anything." He swallows. "Please don't tell Jack. He'll kill me."
Pietr zips his lips, locks them, tosses the key over his shoulder.
Then finishes kicking Derek's ass.
