The Case of the Missing Anniversary Ring
(Name) had never panicked so hard in her life.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my GOD.” She frantically tore through their bedroom, flipping pillows, tossing blankets, crawling under the bed—nothing.
Her anniversary ring was gone.
The one he had designed himself, made with black and crimson gemstones, infused with a small piece of his Evol so it would always stay warm against her skin.
“I’M A TERRIBLE WIFE.” She groaned, flopping onto the floor, gripping her head. “I don’t deserve him. I don’t deserve love. I should just exile myself.”
Staryus, their husky, watched from the corner, tilting his head at her dramatics.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sylus walked into the room only to find absolute destruction.
Blankets on the floor.
Closet doors wide open.
Drawers overturned.
And his wife, face-planted into the carpet, sobbing.
She sniffled, whipping her head up. Her eyes were red, glossy, and filled with pure distress.
Sylus’s heart immediately clenched. “What’s wrong? Who do I need to kill?”
“I—” she hiccupped, “I lost my ring.”
She held up her bare finger, her lower lip trembling. “I lost my anniversary ring. The one you gave me. I—I don’t know how, but it’s gone.”
Her voice cracked at the end. Tears welled up in her big, shiny eyes again.
Oh, Sylus had never been so weak in his entire life.
He sighed, crouching beside her, cupping her tear-streaked face. “Sweetie, it’s okay. It’s just a ring.”
“No, it’s NOT,” she wailed, sniffing and rubbing her nose against his chest. “You gave it to me, and now I LOST it. I should be banned from jewelry FOREVER.”
Sylus bit back a chuckle.
God, she was so cute when she was crying over him.
He stroked her hair, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “You’re adorable when you’re dramatic, you know that?”
She hiccupped, glaring at him. “I’M SERIOUS.”
Sylus chuckled, wiping her tears with his thumb. “I know, I know. But I also know that ring wouldn’t leave you so easily. We’ll find it.”
Before she could spiral again, Mephisto, swooped into the room, dropping something into Sylus’s palm.
A familiar black-and-crimson ring.
Sylus grinned. “Told you.”
She stared at the ring. Then at Sylus. Then back at the ring.
Sylus tilted his head. “According to Mephisto, under the couch in the main hall.”
Then slowly covered her face. “…Oh my god.”
Sylus raised an amused brow. “Something you wanna confess?”
She groaned. “I—I was midnight snacking there last night. I must’ve taken it off and—OH MY GOD, I LOST MY RING BECAUSE OF A BAG OF CHIPS.”
Sylus grinned, twirling the ring between his fingers. “That’s a very ‘you’ reason to lose something so precious, sweetie.”
“Can you please not, I'm so embarrased.”
Still smirking, he took her hand and slipped the ring back onto her finger, kissing the back of her hand.
“There. All is right in the world again.”
She pouted. “You’re not mad?”
Sylus arched a brow. “Mad? Kitten, you were crying over losing my gift. If anything, I’m very flattered.”
She scoffed, wiping the last of her tears. “…I feel stupid.”
Sylus grinned, pressing a soft kiss against her lips. “You’re adorable.”
His wife, still flustered, mumbled into his chest. “…I’ll never take it off again.”
Sylus chuckled, holding her closer. “Good. But if you do, don’t worry—I’ll always find you, and I’ll always find it.”
