At the party, someone started up a round of "Never Have I Ever." One of the guys had had too much to drink, and he grinned as he said it: "I've secretly gone on a trip alone with my girlfriend's best friend behind her back." Everyone at the table cursed him for being scum, and they all folded down a finger. Everyone except my boyfriend, Desmond Gilbert. Across the table, Beverly Matthews' eyes went red. "Ramona Dickerson, don't get the wrong idea." "I'd just gone through a breakup back then. He was only keeping me company." The next turn came around to Desmond. As if to prove he had nothing to hide, he reached over and pulled Beverly's hand toward him. "I've bought a ring for my girlfriend's best friend." On Beverly's pinky sat a plain band. Last month, out shopping, I'd tried that exact ring on. Desmond had slipped it off my finger and handed it back to the clerk. "A ring isn't the kind of thing you give someone lightly." And now it was on my best friend's hand. Beverly hurried to pull her hand back. "Desmond, stop." But he didn't let go. "It's just a birthday present." "Don't read into it." I looked at their joined hands, then slowly looked down at my own. Five fingers, and somewhere along the way, only one of them was still standing. This round of the game, this relationship. It seemed like the one losing was me either way.
