He pulled a ring out of his pocket , and tried to jam it on my finger , as if I were nothing but a thing , Satisfied now ? From start to finish , he acted like a reasonable man tolerating his wifes tantrums . I grabbed the ring and threw it into the sewer . I wanted nothing to do with him , or anything that connected us to the blood oath . What I said next stunned everyone .
