Returning a RwLockWriteGuard with the node it borrowed from in the same function

Question

I am building a concurrent BTree and I'm struggling with figuring out how to create a stack of latches (RwLockWriteGuard). I built this simple example that takes in a node, and returns both the node and a guard. I'm getting the following error:

cannot return value referencing local data `node_option.0`
returns a value referencing data owned by the current function`

I'm pretty sure it's because the write_guard has a reference to the node_option. How might I be able to return both elements in the same function? Here is the simplified version of the code:

struct Node {
    lock: RwLock<()>,
}

fn return_lock<'a>(node_option: Option<Node>) -> (Option<Node>, RwLockWriteGuard<'a, ()>) {
    match node_option {
        Some(ref node) => {
            let write_guard = node.lock.write().unwrap();
            return (node_option, write_guard);
        }
        None => todo!(),
    };
}
