Ahhh, the familiar feeling sweeps in as the image I had in my head fizzles into nothingness, replaced by a wholly unsatisfactory reality.
It would have been nice for either - if not both - sister(s) said congratulations about my recent change in circumstances.
Commented on the photos taken during my time away.
Said what a lovely ring I was wearing.
Said anything; anything at all.
More fool me - should have known.
