Last night, Maddie asked to see the ring Greg gave me and asked what it meant.
"The crown stands for Loyalty, the hands for Friendship, and the heart is for Love."
"What's lo- ... loooyyltily?"
loy-al (loi-uhl) adj. steadfast in one's allegiance to a person or cause or to one's country. loy'al-ly adv. loy-al-ty (loi-uhl-tee) n. (pl. -ties).
