A/N: Seeing as my muse thinks it's funny to make things less than obvious, the first one was supposed to have been between Bobby and Alex and this second one between Mike and Carolyn.
It starts to rain as he goes after her, one hand in his pocket to make sure that what's in there stays there. She's already halfway up the block and still walking. But this time, he's determined not to let her get away. They've already come too far for that. She stops as he calls out her name and turns, a startled expression crossing her face as she does. He's holding the last thing she'd have expected from him…an open box, with nothing other than a diamond engagement ring inside.
He's forgotten about her birthday again. Ironically enough, it falls on the day before the date they've set, which makes it even worse. If he can forget a birthday, he can forget an anniversary. He knows she's annoyed when she doesn't answer the door, but he knows she's on the other side. So he remains until she answers, and presses a long, thin box into her hands when she does. She opens it as he walks away, to find a diamond bracelet waiting for her. The door closes as she smiles, knowing that she has her something new.
It rains as they go to follow another lead. She thinks he's forgotten, but he hasn't, and as they walk, he pushes something into her hands. She gives him a look, but he says nothing, content to look out in front of them, but unable to keep a faint smile off his face. She continues to eye him before opening it, to find the set of diamond earrings she'd been looking at a few days before. And right there in middle of the sidewalk, she pulls him to her so they can share a kiss.
