"N-not this one," *she said. Then she grinned and held up her left hand.* "I've already got a ring on this hand, anyway," *she pointed to the silver band in a Celtic knot pattern on her ring finger.* "...and for some reason I don't like rings on my right hand."

"But why on a chain? That seems so strange."

"Well how else could I wear it without having it on my finger? In my pocket it's--"

"It's merely a bauble," *she reassured him.* "Nothing more."
"Now THIS one..." *she gestured to the one on her hand.* "I wouldn't part with this one for the world...it was a gift..."
*She turned her face away for a moment, fighting back tears.*
"...from someone I'll probably never see again."

*Genghis frowned. He didn't mean to upset her.*
"I am sorry to bring up such a matter when I should be letting you sleep. I can let you return to it, if you would like."

"No, please..." *she looked up at him, stretching out her hand as if to hold him there.* "...I don't want to be alone," *she said quietly, feeling lost at the thought of Genghis' departure.*

*Genghis looked confused. She wanted him to stay? He turned back and sat next to her.*

*Genghis remembered something about girls. Women. Whatever.*
"Would you like to talk about it?"

*She lifted her shoulders a little, then let them drop.*
"There's not much to say. I know it's only a dream, but--it feels real every time it's...it's him."
*She chewed distractedly on her thumbnail.*
