Bilbo was a meticulous hobbit. He had his way of doing things and didn’t really enjoy anything too crazy and out of the norm. For example, on pg.4 and 5, when Gandalf had just asked Bilbo about adventuring, Bilbo said, “We [Hobbits] are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. … I can’t think what anybody sees in them,...We do“Ding Dong!

As she looked to examine the ring again, she noticed differences too. Her ring was plastic, not gold. Instead of seeing beautiful diamonds, she noticed hot glue gun glue marks pointing to where the rhinestones had been added. Camryn stayed silent for the rest of the day. When she got out the car, Calvin apologized for what he said, but her mind wasn’t focused on that. She ignored Ryan the rest of the day.

In that moment, Ryan made a decision. She fluttered down, Camryn following. She cut off her and Camryn’s wings. In the quiet of the gym, Ryan placed the ring in Camryn’s hand. They left them gym and went
