This is beautiful! I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I love stories that are all action and description and no dialogue. I think it leaves so much up to the writer to explain and you've done such a nice job with that. There are so many things about this that I think are fabulous: 1) all the "once" sentences where she leaves Jim speechless, 2) using the ring to just symbolize everything about her relationship with Roy (the way it doesn't fit, the way it tarnishes, the way it weighs her down, etc.), and 3) this line: "She sees the hurt in his eyes, but doesn't think before she speaks, because if she does, she won't be brave." That is just so, so Pam and so, so real -- it's so much harder to be brave when you've already thought about everything that could go wrong.
This is just great. Awesome job.

I liked this study of Pam's evolving relationship with her engagement ring. It's an original idea, one I haven't seen explored before, which made it fun to read.

I left a comment over at LJ, but I had to say it here too -- if only Pam got up the nerve for this to be how it played out. We can still hope, though!! Love this line: truth comes out best when you don’t prepare for it and just let it happen
