I went to go look at an apartment the other day. It was interesting, to say the least.
So I walked in the door and the little bell jingled above me. I walked towards the front desk and sat down, waiting.
A young guy – in his 20s for sure – came out from the office and extended his hand to me. I stood and shook his hand, smiling.
“Tristen,” he said. “How can I help you?”
“Hi, Tristen. I’m Ginger.” I answered. I explained to him how I was looking for a new place in the area and wanted to take a tour. He nodded and started pulling out a brochure.
As he gathered documents together, I played with my ring. I could see him looking at it.
“Are you engaged?” he asked me.
I was a bit surprised he would ask this question, but not bothered by it.
“No.”
He looked at the ring and I looked down at it as well. “This is a $6 ring from Ross.”
We both laughed.
“It helps at bars when guys won’t leave me alone!” I explained.
He chuckled and said, “I’d imagine so.”
