Gen uncovers the drawer filled with a decade’s worth of
memories with Lucille and surveys its contents like a haciendera sizing up a failed
harvest. Yellowed cards and letters mingled with rust-eaten pendants. In a
dreary corner, Gen finds a box standing out without distinct markings. She
reaches for it, feeling like she was about to pry open the gates of heaven and
hell. Inside, the golden band conceals the earth’s hardest creation. Her vision
blurs as Gen realizes just how much of Lucille was in the ring, how much she
was like it: a treasure concealing a stone-cold heart.
