Alone, Roarke took the gray fabric button from his pocket, the one he'd found on the floor of his limo. The one that had fallen from the jacket of that drab gray suit she'd worn the first time he'd seen her. Studying it, knowing he had no intention of giving it back to her, he felt like a fool.
In "Naked in Death" by J.D. Robb, Roarke reflects on a small yet significant object: a gray fabric button he picked up from his limo.

As he examines the button, he grapples with feelings of foolishness, aware that he has no desire to return it to her. It's a bittersweet token that symbolizes a connection between them.

The button serves as a reminder of their first meeting, evoking a mix of nostalgia and longing. In this moment of solitude, he acknowledges the weight of the past and the intrigue of their bond, suggesting that the objects we keep can hold profound emotional significance.
