Back when we'd sneak kisses in here, I used to ask what she kept inside. She'd never say. Just told me to guess.

Click.
The safe opened.
My stomach dropped.
Inside were two rings. The bands? Engraved: Aurelia & Leonard.
Old-school design, but they were spotless—like someone still took care of them.
