Pouring out the rest of the bottle into my cup, I lifted it up and downed the contents right away before looking to the side, where I saw the ashen haired beauty I had the privilege of being in love with doing the exact same thing.
It was out of character for her to find solace in a bottle - not that we had drank all that often in our lives, since there were few occasions for us to do so - so I was a bit more worried than usual, though I could understand it as my eyes dropped to her hand, which was resting on the table in front of her.
Adorning one of her fingers was a ring that we all had, but unlike ours Leone's was now broken, a sign that - according to Kat when she had given them to us - her protection against a strike that would kill her was gone, and that was something I knew must haunt her mind right now.
Whew~
