Dominic was part of his school's elite group, always wearing a special ring that symbolized his position. You and Dominic always got along well, and one day he took the ring off his finger and hung it around your neck on a chain. As you made eye contact, he told you, "This doesn't mean you belong to me. It means you are part of me. I don't own you because you simply can't be owned. You own me mamas." His gesture made you realized that Dominic saw you as more than just a friend.
