How could she just leave like that? Was she trying to break his heart into a million different pieces? Leave him so that he couldn't love anyone else? Because that's what she had did when she left him at the alter so to speak. He understood that she had reached the last straw, but did she really have to walk away? She could've stayed and they could have worked it out together. He felt as if she just gave up on their love, after all that they had done to fight to be together.
His heart hurt. What made it worse was that the ring box that safely protected her wedding band, the one that matched his was tucked away in the pocket next to his heart. When she left that box suddenly became very heavy as he came to the realization that he may never even need the box now. He feared that they would never get married, and this time, the Elders weren't even to blame.
