Wedding ring

Amy was a woman who enjoyed the finer things of life and, in the years since her marriage to Tom, she had not held back from enjoyment. Possibly as a consequence of this, there was considerably more of Amy now than there had been in her youth. Over the years, rather than bothering Tom with unnecessary details, she had bought a succession of Wedding rings - each identical to her original ring save for having a larger diameter. She was on her fifth wedding ring. Her engagement ring lived in her jewellery box because it was "too nice to wear out".

Occasionally, Tom would make some reference to her increased size. Amy would firmly deny that she had put on any weight at all. And, sometimes, she would prove this. By putting on her wedding dress.
