As she lifted her eyes, they found his.
Deep and painful, met light and caring.
Fire exploded between them.
Love jumped out and stole the moment. Causing her heart to race even faster.
But, never once wavering their stare.
Never once.
They were too strong now.
Too strong.
She felt the passion, it seared between them.
And she knew, the moment her skin hit his... It would ignite.
There was no restraining it now.
Things had gone too far.
As he slid his palm up her arm, it burned.
That ring, it burned. Seared right through her skin. That ring on his left... That ring that wasn't there.
Suddenly, looking down she noticed the empty place that the solemnly sworn promise once held.
"El...?" She managed, almost in a whisper. The slightest question in her voice.
"Hmmm." He stated, more that questioned. He was preoccupied.
"The ring. Your ring."
That, that right there was all she had to say. Instantly, his eyes were back on hers.
