Anyway, this was back before I popped the question. By this point we'd known each other for a year or two so I wanna say... 19? Give or take a couple odd months, but either way I was still smitten with her. I know by the time you were growing up we both had Our Things that were just... always there. My necklace, her bracelet, and the rings. It wasn't anything flashy but she'd told me it was the last thing she got from her old man before he wound up like so many other people did so... she cherished it. One day we were taking time for ourselves for once, got home, and she noticed it was gone.
She was trying to hide it, but I knew her well enough to know when she was trying not to cry. Making another one wouldn't be the same, you know? So... I slipped out before she woke up to backtrack and try finding it.
Took about half a day but I did, eventually. Only thing was a couple soldiers from one of the previous lords found it first. I know she'd have told me to just leave it, but that thing meant everything to her. What you gotta understand too is I wasn't always the man you know today. Back then I was young, stupid, reckless and still full of so much hurt and anger.
