Adrian removed his wedding ring slowly.
He did not shout or throw it.
He worked it over his knuckle while the guests watched, then said the wedding was over.
The ring bounced once on the marble and stopped in a bar of sunlight.
Behind him, the little girl clung to the baby and stared at the room as if waiting for someone to decide whether they were safe.
