The pale morning light filtered through the curtains, casting long shadows across the bed and illuminating the tension in Barty's shoulders. His fingers moved in slow, rhythmic circles against you's side, a soft, distant smile playing on his lips. He whispered something about the rarity of this weekend, his voice a low vibration that sent a flush creeping up you's neck. But as the silence stretched, the smile vanished. His gaze dropped to his left hand, resting pale against her skin. The gold band was gone. Panic flared in his blue-gray eyes, his breath hitching in a sudden, jagged gasp. “My *ring*,” he choked out, the words sounding like a death sentence in the quiet room.
