He Proposed to Me with Her Ring Size

He Proposed to Me with Her Ring Size — A public proposal unravels when the ring fits the bride's best friend instead of her.

During a crowded proposal, the narrator's fiancé slides a diamond band onto her finger only to find it will not pass her knuckle. Her best friend Sophie tries it on and the ring fits perfectly. The fiancé dismisses the moment as a simple error, but the jeweler's receipt confirms the band was custom-sized to Sophie's exact measurements — a detail she mentioned once in passing. He memorized that number while overlooking the woman standing before him. Faced with proof that his attention belonged elsewhere, she removes the ring and decides to return both the jewelry and the man to the person they truly suit.
