Cassandra wasn't very sentimental or traditional, but this was the exception the that normal. And when Victor asked what it meant, she finally considered that most people in the villa might not know a Claddaugh from a traditional ring.<br/><br/>After moving even closer until the two of them were practically sharing one chair, Cassie removed the chain from her neck, letting the ring fall into her hand. She held it on either side of the gem moving it up and down slowly and watching how the faint lights caught the polished stone.<br/><br/>"This is called a Claddaugh ring." She finally said, looking up at Victor. "It's a traditional ring some of us...many of us...wear to signify where our heart is at. People have changed some of its uses in the past, but my family still follows the traditional ways. My mother gifted me with my first Claddaugh ring when I came of age and if I ever have any daughters, I will do the same for them when they come of age."<br/><br/>"It's kinda similar to what you might know as an engagement or wedding ring." She went on before pausing to look back at the ring with two hands holding either side of a heart wearing a crown. She hadn't considered what it might sound like to compare it to an engagement or wedding ring but her gaze was transfixed upon the black rock. "But it doesn't just represent a person who is married or getting married. It means so much more."<br/><br/>"Do you see the heart shape in the middle?" She said, adjusting the ring into one hand so she could point to the black rock carved into the shape of a heart. "The heart is meant to represent love." Though she conveniently left out the part that it was meant to represent true love before moving on.<br/><br/>"And the hands that hold the heart..." She said, indicating each of those with a finger. "Well, how can you have a strong relationship... How can you truly love someone without a strong basis in friendship? Those hands, they represent friendship."<br/><br/>Then she pointed to the crown, but she didn't speak at first. When she finally did, her voice was soft and almost pained. "The crown here represents loyalty, another one of the most important traits to a successful relationship. And if you couldn't tell, these three aspects come together as three of the most basic yet essential components of a strong relationship... of true love." The last three words were said slowly, longingly, giving away every intention Cassie had of one day finding that true love the ring was meant to represent.<br/><br/>But she shook her head quickly and laughed off the desire for a moment. Then she put the ring on her right ring finger with her heart pointed away from herself. She lightly held her hand as if examining the way the ring looked on her finger.<br/><br/>"The direction and location where I wear the ring matters too, however. When I wear it like this, the most basic way to describe its meaning is that I'm single. Although, if you look at how the heart is pointed outward, you might be able to see the literal meaning. Wearing the ring on this hand, pointed out literally means that my heart is open to finding love, or that I may be searching for it. If I turn it around so that the heart is pointed in towards myself, it simply means I am in a relationship. Again, though, that is not the literal meaning. When I turn the ring around, the crown (the loyalty) will be standing between the heart and others. The literal meaning is that someone has captured my heart."<br/><br/>Then she looked up at Victor again, putting her hand down with the heart of the ring still pointed out. "I have never turned the ring around for the right reasons. Next time I do, I'm going to be sure that I will never be able to use my go-to make-everyone-drink Never Have I Ever again. Next time, I'll be able to say I've been in love, not just fallen."<br/><br/>Cassandra assumed that the other two possible positions should have been fairly obvious from there as they were most similar to an engagement or wedding ring.
