By the time the kiss was over, Sarah was too giddy with the feeling of having truly made something special that he would thing special too to notice the warmth that had faded. "Emotions, thoughts, everything you've been capable of sensing before this," she explained as she finally slid the ring on to his finger. "And we can test it later, for now, we're going to enjoy our wedding d-"
For the second time in the last few minutes, Sarah's words cut off sharply, but this time it was her own doing – or, rather, her own inability to keep speaking. Her bracelet had come into view just as she had slid the ring on entirely and adjusted it so the signet was facing squarely upward, but it wasn't the same as it had been a few moments ago.
Before it had been plain metal, simple but wholly cherished, so much so that Peter had made it impossible to take off months ago when he realized she had no desire to ever take it off and would have been utterly devastated to ever lose it. It was all she needed, that reminder of a day that, at the time, had seemed so beyond anything she had ever been granted in her life that it would turn out a dream come morning. Instead, it had turned out to be reality, a brighter and truer reality than she had every expected, one that had lead to this.
Now the bracelet was engraved, calligraphy the entire way around, positioned so she could read it with her arm at a natural angle, rather than the opposite direction so anyone taking her wrist to read it. Their names Peter and Sarah Petrelli, a date 06-04-05 and the words Come What May circled the band now. For a moment, she was simply speechless.
The bracelet had always been perfect. He had just managed to make it more perfect.
"Oh, Peter," she murmured, releasing him entirely for the first time since pulling him aside, freeing a hand to use one finger to trace over the engraving, following every line.
Her finger lingered on the date and she looked up, a clear but unspoken question in her gaze. The first and last parts suited today, but he'd chosen the day they had met face-to-face for the first time as the date, rather than their wedding date.
