Mike put his large hand with long slender fingers over
Sunny’s on the table and rubbed his thumb over the white mark
where her wedding ring used to be.
“Are you married?” he asked, glancing at her finger then
looking in her eyes.
“Not anymore,” she lied, looking away from him.
“Looks pretty recent,” he probed, fingering the whiteness of
the mark.
She nodded.
“I suppose that’s another reason why you are here,” he stated.
“You could say that,” she admitted feeling her heartbeat
quicken at the thought of the truth coming out.

What a poignant moment; it teases back story all over the place and makes me very interested in what happened to make her take that ring off. Nice.
Thank you, Vivien, for your comment.There is plenty of backstory in this romance!
Love the last dialogue and tagline. You can almost see her getting ready to explode with the truth
The telltale wedding ring mark. Intriguing.
