Sarah stood frozen, the harsh lighting of the pawn shop highlighting the dust on the glass. The ring, with its intricate carvings and ruby center, screamed her grandmother's name. A wave of helplessness crashed over her. She knew the sacrifices her grandmother had made. She knew the difficulties.

She felt a hollowness in her chest. She had to get it back. She could not imagine leaving it here.

She approached the counter, her legs heavy. "How much is the ring with the ruby?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Her gaze was locked on the item.
