Hands clasped, Narcissa waited. Draco sat on the edge of his bed, shoulders slumped, heirloom ring in his hand. The square-cut diamonds glittered in the light.

Narcissa knelt before him. "Sometimes people find love and marry, sometimes people marry and let love find them.” She covered his hand with hers, closing his fingers over the ring.
