"I swallowed the ring "she utter bummed out while her shoulders dropped.

"Oh, don't tell... poop, "Marie asked in shock in barely a whisper.
"No, Marie. I had to make myself vomit. I can never face him again " the softness in her voice had a pinch of pain.
Marianne waved her hands dismissively "Suck it up! He is my husband's best man " Marie suddenly stopped before continuing " And you know what --I will get you a date. So you won't feel left out"
