Ty held up his left ring finger.
"I didn't want you to know."
Ty sighed. He took off the armor and threw it to the side. "I was going to get rid of it tomorrow."
"Yeah. How else do I get into the Marquis's place?"
"A few years ago I was forced to join the Imperials."
"It is just me."
Ty pulled off the helmet.
During those few minutes Ty had gotten up and walked to the closet. At the back, was a panel. He pulled it back and stared at the Imperial armor. He sighed. He grabbed the breastplate and put it on.
Ty felt Cajia's fist clench. He frowned.
Ty slipped the thing from his pocket onto Cajia's finger. It was a ring. I hope she never has to learn about me being an ex-Imperial.
Mark walked into the room, closing the door. "Jack, I know where you are."
Ty heard Cajia breath lighter. He pulled something out of his pocket.
"If he gets drunk easy, that's from you." Mark said, walking after Jack.
Ty looked at the ceiling.
"You can have that one when you are 6 or 7."
Ty kissed her forehead. He pulled off his shirt.
"That's okay. I have a spare."
Ty sighed. He pulled the covers over Cajia.
"You want me to do something?"
"Don't lie to me."
