“Dammit, Jarrod!” Brett yelled, slamming his fist on the table. “You’re throwing away your life, your future! Our future!”
Jarrod calmly continued to pack even though inside he was in complete turmoil. President Lincoln had finally issued the call to arms and Jarrod was one of the first to sign up. He wasn’t fighting for the thrill of conflict like so many others; he strongly believed in the sanctity of the Union and the rights of all men under God as an advocate of the law and just because he was who he was. Jarrod knew he’d never be able to hold his head high if he didn’t stand up for his principles and had no choice but to bear arms in their defence.
He respected Brett’s position though. Jarrod had seen enough men killed out west and knew war wasn’t gong to be glorious. He couldn’t fault any man for wanting to avoid that but knowing he wouldn’t have Brett beside him was like losing a part of himself.
“We can still have that future.” Jarrod did his best not to sound as though he was begging. “When the war’s over, we’ll build that practice together in California, Brett. I promise.”
Brett grabbed the front of Jarrod’s shirt and roughly pulled him close. “You could be dead by then!” He shoved Jarrod away hard enough to make him stumble and turned his back on him.
“Brett…” Jarrod started, putting a hand on his lover’s shoulder, but Brett abruptly shrugged it off.
“It doesn’t matter. Just go, Jarrod.”
Jarrod sighed heavily and picked up his bag. He took one step towards the door and stopped.
I told him he didn’t matter. I let him down and now I’ll never be able to tell him how much I loved him.
Brett’s words from three years ago echoed clearly in Jarrod’s mind. He couldn’t walk out. He couldn’t leave to possibly be killed without saying the words. He needed to know he’d told Brett how he felt.
Jarrod turned back. “You’ll be in my heart, Brett, every day. No matter what, I’ll always love you.” Brett didn’t move. Jarrod shouldered his bag again and walked to the door with a heavy heart.
“Jarrod…”
Jarrod turned again to find Brett facing him, his face wet with tears. “I love you too, Jarrod.”
Jarrod dropped his bag, strode over to Brett, pulled him tightly into his arms and kissed him fiercely. Brett returned the kiss with equal passion and they clung to each other desperately.
Brett pulled away after a moment and reached into his pocket. He took out two semicircles of silver. “I’ve carried this coin around for a long time,” he said, playing with the halves. “I’ve never showed anyone before, but it was my mother’s. I went to a jeweller’s and had it cut for us the other day.” He handed one half to Jarrod and held his piece up. Jarrod fit the piece he’d been given to Brett’s and they matched perfectly.
“Unum ad finem,” Jarrod said quietly.
“One at the end,” Brett replied, translating the Latin into English. The clock on the mantel chimed the hour.
“I’d better go or I’ll miss my train.” Jarrod gave Brett another tight hug and it was hard to let go, but he did. “It’ll be whole again,” he promised before carefully pocketing the half circle he knew he would always carry with him.
“Write when you can.”
Jarrod nodded. Grabbing his bag again, he left the apartment and this time he didn’t turn back.

A/N: I was originally intending to end it here and not go into the actual episode of 'A Time To Kill', but I was encouraged to take it further so there are still a few more chapters to go.
