The police came as fast as it could. A neighbor called... she was horrified. The screams were bloodcurdling, she could hear the chairs crashing against the wall; she thought that animals had invaded the house... If it wasn't for the fact that there was fire coming out from the windows.
When the firefighters came, they saw it. They were there... She was in the ground, horrible bruised. He was a few meters away, in the ground too, and he was crying. He tried to move but the burns wouldn't let him... he tried to reach to her. His frail and broken voice, destroyed by the screaming and the smoke, could only say "I Love You". They tried but, she was gone... When they tried to save him, he refused... He wanted to be with his beloved. His chain and lock. He knew he would die in any moment, but he wanted to relish that fleeting moment of true freedom. So the firefighters put him besides Grace... He never broke free, rather, he embraced his chains.
Ever since he did this very same thing to his beautiful Ariadna.
That day, someone else was also captured.... A firefighter found another couple inside the house. The man was brought to his knees, his hands handcuffed and his hoodie covered in burns. The woman, her beautiful white dress stained by soot and blood, kneeling and caressing the prisoner's face. He could hear them talk....
"So close" Said the man, sounding defeated, his head bowed down in shame.
"It's hopeless, there's nothing left" Said the woman, kissing the man while crying.
"Time, we always have time" He said while he grabbed his wife's hands. "Someday, you will stop burning, and someday I will be free... We just have to wait"
The firefighter was awestruck at the scene, but his friends snapped him out of it. They said he looked stupid looking at the burning house. The firefighter left the place...he could only think in the burning pain he felt whenever he wore the wedding ring,
