Found item:

While leaving my apartment yesterday morning, I found a woman’s wedding ring on the floor in the middle of the hallway, halfway to the elevator and basically in between 4 different apartment doors.

I was in a hurry, so I just put it in my pocket and started thinking about the best way to reunite it w its owner. I’ve asked a couple of neighbors whom I’m acquaintanted with but no luck yet. I also taped a note up in the elevator saying, “if you lost something valuable in the building, call me and describe it and I’ll give it back to you,” w my phone number.

I can’t believe someone is not frantically looking for this.

That looks more like a man's wedding band. If it is small, it has to be for a skinny guy.

It barely fits on my pinky and while I have fairly large hands, I do not have fat fingers. It's pretty definitely a woman's ring, from Tiffany.

In the building? Plenty. It's a 7 story, 65 unit building.

That was my thought as well. She took it off on the way to meet her fling. She thought that she slipped it in her purse but it fell to the floor before getting there. She hasn't looked for it yet.

Fling just ended after an early morning session. Young Javier has to shower up and get on his scooter for the start of his first shift as assistant manager at Starbucks in La Brea. He is worn out, but the smile won't leave his face. Katherine is scrambling to get home in time for her 8am appointment with her personal Pilates trainer Meagan. She's hoping the traffic to Pasadena will be light this morning. Luckily she has a spare wedding band at home from last time this happened.

You must be a people watcher.... or perhaps a shrink....

The owner of the ring does not live in the building. The person she was visiting does.

While sitting in an endless line of stopped traffic, Katherine's thoughts drift back to simpler times. She reminisces about when she first married Jim, how much in love they were. How had things gotten so complicated? When did she start falling out of love with him? Was it the car accident? That wasn't his fault, could she be subconsciously blaming him all these years? As the red Camry in front of her began to creep forward, a single tear coursed down her cheek.

That ring prolly bounced off the owner’s husband’s forehead as the elevator door awkwardly revealed he and his friend to her.

Nobody’s looking for it at the moment.

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't now way to hide your lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
