She’d worked in the garden the afternoon before and somewhere, somehow, her wedding ring had gone missing. Worse, she hadn’t noticed until the next morning—thoughts of Aaron had kept her mind occupied. She hadn’t said anything to Karin to keep from upsetting her, instead waiting until after she’d left on the school bus. But as soon as she was alone, Skylar arranged for an extra employee to cover at the Nibble Nook and raced outside. Jimmie had gotten her the ring when she was still pregnant, planning to propose after the baby was born. The thought that it could have gone out in the trash, picked up that morning by the disposal company, was too awful to think about. It had to be in the yard. Skylar tried to calm down and hunt through the soil she’d dug up in the vegetable garden. An hour later she was in the front of the house, still searching, when she glanced over at the hydrangea bush and saw a glint of gold on the ground beneath a branch.
