Falling Down
In Lydia’s distracted state of mind, she failed to notice that a large branch was in her way, and she fell over it. Lydia was not about to fall flat on her face, however, and she was quick enough to throw her hand out to catch her fall. Lydia took a moment to catch her breath and check that she had not been injured before standing back up again. But as the woman began raising herself, she saw that something had gone terribly wrong.

Shattered Memories
As Lydia carefully looked herself over, she realized that something had broken. It wasn’t a bone or a body part, but it may as well have been, as she stared at her ring in horror. It had shattered, that beautiful piece that she kept so safely on her hand for 25 years. That crucial connection that she had to her mother had been destroyed, and she could not stop herself from weeping openly on that sidewalk. She had to get back home, and quickly.
