Scarlet sighed as she realized that despite her letter, no one had come to the train station. The last year had been hard on her and in turn, she had not been home since Steve's mother died in the year prior. It had been too hard for her to say goodbye, to all parties as they parted so she decided to distance herself. Letters still conversed back and forth along with phone calls. Steve had ended up moving into an apartment with Bucky and they told her that she was always allowed to stay with them.

She set her bag on a bench and sat down then sighed remembering the last time she had been at this very depot. Two gold bands were worn on her right hand; the one on her middle finger was a fine and impressive antique 18ct gold men's diamond ring crafted in 18 ct yellow gold. The shield shaped plateau was embellished with a claw set Old European cut diamond, set within a five-pointed star shaped design. The flared and subtly elevated ring shoulders were ornamented with fine chased floral decoration, integrating with the main setting and melding with the plain ring shank.

The other on her pinkie finger which was also crafted in 18 ct yellow gold had a rounded edged, square shaped anterior face of this antique signet ring embellished with the engraved initials 'RVI'

The other on her pinkie finger which was also crafted in 18 ct yellow gold had a rounded edged, square shaped anterior face of this antique signet ring embellished with the engraved initials 'RVI'. The anterior face had a hinged, push fit concealed compartment, which lifted to reveal an impressive painted enamel portrait of Scarlet's profile. The flared, elevated ring shoulders integrated with the main setting and blend seamlessly with the plain hallmarked ring shank. The ring was hallmarked to the interior of the shank with the gold guarantee mark (crown), the 18 ct gold mark *18), the Birmingham Assay Office hallmark (anchor) and the maker's mark for Charles Green & Sons (CG&S); both had been worn by her now deceased fiancé Lance Corporal Thomas Blake.
