Rushing back

As Rufus walked off, Beth made no attempt to stop him. The past few minutes had been rather surreal. The strange young guy, the gold ring and the memories rekindled. As she looked from the gold ring to her baby, she felt that the man had seemed rather familiar. But she didn't know why. He seemed very caring, and as for the gold ring...

The ring had belonged to Rufus's father. He had taken it after killing him.

After Rufus had gone, Beth examined the ring. 'From Daddy' was engraved inside. Surely not? Not possible! Her tears came rushing back.
