He looked smug and pleased with himself. “Look, I’ve added another inscription.”
Beside the
Love, Michael,
he’d added
Lost and Found

She glanced at him again, unsure and confused. The tears streaming down her face didn’t help her composure or her understanding.
“It’s not just about losing and finding your ring. It’s about losing love. Not valuing what I had with you, but miraculously finding it again.” He extracted the ring from her grip and slipped the band back on her finger. Where it belonged.
“My love for you was never lost,” she said.
“No, I don’t suppose so. Only a woman who had a heart full of love for a husband like me would say that. But for me, I was beyond lost and you took the time to find me, to find us again.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist. Her arms encircled his neck. Their lips met in a quiet, subtle kiss. A kiss full of promise and for all that they would find together in the future.
“Clarissa?”
“Yes, my love.”

About the Author
Eliza thinks romance writing is nearly as good as the real thing. Given her choice of professions, she would have preferred to be a 19th-century archeologist, but she is perfectly happy living in the 21st century and comfortably writing about such romantic but inconceivably inconvenient times, instead.
She enjoys traveling, movies, everyone else’s novels and a good meal out with friends on Saturday night. Her greatest flaw is that she believes there is such a thing as true love. Don’t tell her otherwise, please.
