Angel looked over her shoulder as Tim drew her away.  She wondered what Leon was up to, she knew his story and had a feeling she already knew, he had seen something and he was going to intervene.  She went ahead and let Tim draw her away.   She would press Leon later.  They were her friends and she didn't like him putting himself in danger but she understood his need to protect others.<br/><br/>"So where are we headed?" she asked Tim.   She spotted a shiny object and paused to reach down and pick up a ring,  it was old.   Her eyes went a little wide as she held it and she suddenly saw the flash of the past.<br/><br/><i><b>An older woman stood in an elegant foyer, it looked like the sort of place you would see in an old mansion.  She wore a longer dress and the ring was on her hand.   She stood staring at the young couple waiting for her judgement.    Then she spoke:<br/>
         Marie Claire, I am so disappointed in you.  You bring this... dirt poor Irishman into my home.  You may pack a bag and go with your paramour but never return here, you are disowned.<br/>
<br/>
          I understand Mama,  Papa would never have done this but you are cold. I wish you all that you want in your lonely world.<br/>
<br/>
The scene changed.  The older woman lay on her deathbed and she handed the ring to a man<br/>
            I know you know where Marie Claire is... I know you have been giving her the trust her father left for her.  You may as well give her the Ring too. <br/>
<br/>
           M'am, yes, I have done as your late husband requested, he knew how you were.   He knew you would find a way to disown his daughter.   You never wanted to have her in your home.   I will give her the ring because it belonged to her grandmother.  She would not want anything that belonged to you.   Your doctor is here, he says it is just a matter of time now.  She is happy you know... and that dirt poor Irishman now owns half of New York. <br/>
<br/>
The only thing that happened was a bitter look on the woman's face.</b></i>
