Chapter 22 - CAMILLA RETURNS MY RING

She had returned the engagement ring immediately after the breakup.

Legally, state rules and circumstances could have created arguments about conditional gifts.

We did not litigate.

She sent it through counsel.

I put it in a safe.

Years later Lila found the box.

“What’s this?”

“Old ring.”

“For Camilla?”

“Yes.”

“Why keep?”

I had no good answer.

So I sold it.

Donated part of the proceeds to a domestic-worker legal-aid nonprofit and part to a children’s museum-access program.

Not redemption through money.

Just better use than a drawer.
