Owen's face paled upon exiting the ensuite. On the edge of his bed sat Elijah with a thunderous expression. In his hand, the chain Owen wore daily dangled holding their rings. 

Their wedding rings. 

"You kept them?" Elijah's voice was deceptively calm.

Owen hung his head to avoid Elijah's penetrating gaze. He didn't even know where to begin to explain. Elijah wasn't ever supposed to find the rings. 

"You. Kept. Them?" Elijah repeated, enunciating the words sharply while the tears pooled in Owen's eyes. 

"Yes." He breathed shakily. 

"Why?" Elijah rose from the bed. With every step he took toward Owen, Owen retreated backward, ending up cornered against the wall. 

Elijah slid his hand up Owen's chest and settled onto his neck, gently forcing his head back up to look at him. Owen's eyes were glassy with unshed tears.

"I'm not going to ask again." His grip applied the faintest amount of pressure, making heat shoot down Owen's body. 

"I don't know why I kept them." It was part of the truth, but Elijah could see right through him. 

An amused smile spread across Elijah's face. "Wrong answer." 

A tear slid down his cheek and then another, and he couldn't stop them. 

"I didn't want to let them go." 

He didn't want to let him go.
