She barely noticed the shopkeeper's bored stare. She pointed, her finger trembling slightly with a potent sensation. "I have to have it." The words felt urgent, almost desperate.

She counted out the cash, her hands shaking with suppressed excitement. Her head was swimming. The ring was hers again. The feeling was overwhelming, powerful.
