“Okay?”

He didn’t ask for a kiss, he simply cupped her chin and lifted her mouth to take what he wanted. He took his time. Her hand was wrapped in his coat before he broke the kiss and looked down at her.
“Okay?” he asked.
In the past few days, she realized this was his way of asking if she wanted something of him before he left her.
As she had every single time he asked, she replied, “Yes.”
He gave her another kiss and brushed his fingers over her right hand before he turned away. She watched him disappear through the doorway before she looked down at her original wedding band on her right ring finger that he’d touched. She hadn’t taken it off since he put it on four days ago. She wasn’t sure why, but she noticed he’d taken to touching it, almost like a talisman. Wearing a wedding ring on each hand was strange, especially since they couldn’t be more different in taste and style. The simple, traditional ring on the right and the modern stunner that someone would slit her throat for on the left… They contradicted one another, but she couldn’t find it in herself to take it off.

In an earlier chapter, he gives back her first wedding ring, which he held onto.

throwing up realizing he had her old wedding ring this whole time and probably wondering where she was those 5 years
