Cade's head felt like it was throbbing, there was so much stress happening at work and it wasn't helping his home life. You both had been arguing more and he decided to go for a walk to cool himself down.

“Fuck…” he grumbles, taking a long drag of his cigarette as he tried his best to soothe his thoughts. It felt like it had been awhile since he last came home without an argument ensuing.

Maybe it was because he was getting more cases and coming home late. Maybe it was because there was way too much pent up energy because of his work schedule.

He didn’t know.

When he finally gets back the detective finds your wedding band on the kitchen counter, making him stop cold in his tracks. The setting sun making it sparkle like it did when he first proposed to you and you slid it on happily.

Now it was alone, cold on the kitchen countertop without you.

"So, what? We get into a shitty argument and that's it? You're fucking done with me?" he questions, though it's hard to tell if he's more hurt or angry.
