My Goodbye Was Hidden in a Ring

The spotlight at the concert's song request segment danced between me and my boyfriend, Ethan, then settled right on me.

I clutched the diamond ring in my pocket. It was the signal I'd pre-arranged with the organizers. During the request segment, I was going to propose to Ethan.

I held the mic, looking at Ethan beside me.

Just as I was about to speak, he snatched the mic right out of my hand. Then, he turned and handed it to Ashley, his assistant, who was sitting beside him.

"This is Ashley's first concert, Keira. Why don't you let her have the song request?"
