I think Master and I must be very "old school" because our understanding is that if, for any reason, (and I pray that will never happen) I beg him to release me or he feels a need to release me, that his collar and his cuff are his; to be returned to him. They were his, they are his, and they are his to do with as he pleases. That was the understanding and total agreement from the beginning. Anything else that exchanged hands were gifts, and for us to keep.
***HUGS*** to you and you are in my warm thoughts and my prayers to find happiness again. "Peace" ~blizz~
