A/N: I have issues. I know I do. But I got this particular challenge, and I couldn't help myself, so here it is: the first three drabbles I've ever managed to write for CI, which isn't mine by the way.
He gives her the first one the night he decides to take their relationship to the next level. There it is, in a black velvet box, a golden circle with a diamond in it…an engagement ring. She takes one look at it before nodding a reply, unable to speak, and as he rises to his feet and draws her into his arms before sliding it onto her finger, he can't help but wonder if life is finally perfect. She reaches up to kiss him, and he knows that it is.
The next two come at the same time. The date they've set will fall upon them come morning, and he's one of those that believes it's bad luck to see the bride in her dress before the actual wedding. So he shows up the night before, drawing the small box out of his pocket as she answers the door. Inside is a simple set of diamond earrings…and it is that set that will serve as her 'something new'.
The last one comes a few years down the road. She's lost the first one by this point, because of something that happened on the job. But things have been so hectic that he hasn't had the chance to do this before now. So when he goes down on one knee in their kitchen, she has no idea what he's doing. Until she sees the small box in his hand, the almost nervous look on his face, and the golden circle that is an exact replica of the one he gave her at the beginning.
