I put them on the middle finger to show that I'm in a relationship but not engaged
The ring finger is a sacred finger to me.
Throughout the years, I rarely put a ring on it, and when I do (as I like to play pretend since I was a little girl), I blush and get emotional
On my birthday, I was asked to sit down and
KY took a small box from his bag and presented me with the sparkliest ring in the whole kingdom
I couldn't help but get emotional
up till this date, I was expecting a bracelet or some sort after getting amazon recommendation (we share a prime account)
I asked him what it all meant? Do my parents know of this?
In fear that I am in unchartered territory
"I know, you don't want to get engaged for the next 2 years without a wedding plan in place, nor would you agree to wear this ring until we get your parents blessings. However, I want to bring our relationship forward. I asked your parents about it, and they know that I'm going to give you this ring today. I love you darling."
As you can imagine, I was confused but very emotional. This is a pre-engagement ring. One that I saw on rom coms, the one that Pam had for 4 years with Roy from the Office.
I teared up, although the question didn't pop up. It feels like an important checkpoint of the lives we share. One that I will remember for the rest of our lives.
As I put on the ring on my ring finger. "How deep is your love" was playing in the background.
I cried in his arms as we swayed to the music.
Up till this point, I've dreamt of all the scenarios where my wedding/ proposal nights could have been... From movies, videos, books...
None could compare to how right that feeling was when he said he'd like to be with me for the rest of his life.
Thinking back, it was a dreamy day. I've been wearing the ring for 4 days now. Wearing it makes me feel special, feel like I belong.

It started off as normal as could be, I was stressed from work (working from home made it better) until he came with a bouquet of flowers, bought me brownie as a cake and a Nathan Pyle comic book that cracked me up. We had steak dinner that night as most restaurants were booked out 2 weeks earlier (insane!)
I logged off at 4.30pm, eager to start my birthday. But this time, for the first time, it felt more like valentine's day than a birthday.
The ring didn't fit me though, (it was a tad larger), so we got it exchanged when we were in London for the weekend :) Now it wraps me like a glove.
