Worry Pebbles Ring

As a kid, Iris used to carry a smooth river pebble in her pocket — not for any reason, just something small to roll between her fingers when her thoughts got too loud in class. Her mother never asked why, just kept refilling her pocket whenever the old one got lost. She still does it now, except the pebble stays on her hand instead of in her pocket — turning, one bead at a time, until the noise in her head quiets down enough to hear herself think again. Worry Pebbles is for the moments your hands need somewhere to go before your mind can follow.
