Henry Morgan: Sorry for your loss, Detective.

"It was all right to wear the wedding ring he had given to Theresa, the one she left for him on the dresser. But was it safe to continue wearing her other ring, the one her second husband gave her?

[...] But I can't stop wearing the rings, he thought, as he clasped the chain around his neck again. They remind me that I am not just the insecure, compulsive hard worker that others assume me to be."
Norman Bond, Two Little Girls in Blue
