"Congratulations."

Why was I whispering?
Wasn't I aiming for a nonchalant tone?

You looked confused.
I gave a dry smile,
my hands pointing your ring finger.

"Oh."

Realisation coloured your eyes.

"Th-thanks."

It hurt bad. But still,
like my sixteen year old self,
my heart interpreted it in it's own way.

Because to me, right then,
you sounded g u i l t y.

Yeah, it was my heart playing games again.
Always interpreting and getting my hopes up.

Clenching my fist under the pale blue hospital sheet,

I smiled back.
