Pedestrian

I can't seem to get it right he said, he crushed the cigarette beneath his heel I want to tell you why . the sun was in my eyes I couldn't see what he was saying. I had hated him all my life because my mother told me to. He held out his hand The diamond ring flashed a rainbow in the sun. I had to take this off her dead hand. I't 's yours now. I wanted it........... so I let him drop it in my open palm trying not to let his skin touch mine. We had a fight, I didn't want to hit her but you know how she was when she was drinking.......... she just kept on and on. you know that. She took off walking down the road, our car's broke down you know. I got the call an hour later, I'm so sorry. he turned and walked away I think, I was blinded , by the sun,,,,, or my tears.
