Glad that your earrings were salvaged and for the displays of affection H showed to you - and you to him. Although my W has never lost earrings down the drain, she almost lost a couple of contact lenses that way! But after careful checking, they never made it to the drain - just bounced harmlessly away where I could find them.
Chuck is right on the money - your emotions do matter a lot to H. Maybe this little incident will be the key that opens the lock for you. Then you'll have to thank that S of yours for "carelessly" tossing the earrings down the drain!
