When Julia arrived at the station house, she could see that William was not happy. He was in his office, looking intently at his chalk board, rubbing his forehead. He only did that when he was embarrassed or when he was getting angry. She walked into his office.

"Are you alright?" she asked softly, squeezing his hand softly.

"I am now." he said, smiling.

"What is going on?"

"I don't know, that's the problem." he sighed, looking back at the sketch on the board.

"Let's go home, maybe it will be clearer tomorrow morning when you come back."

"Yes, let's do that." William said, getting his hat from his desk.

They walked out arm in arm and decided to stop at the park on the way home.

"Come on William, something is bothering you, just tell me what it is." Julia said, sitting really close to him on a bench.

"It's just this case. The religious aspect of it all makes me really uncomfortable. Chief Constable Giles nearly asked me to arrest all the Catholics in town to find the shooter. And it was clear in his eyes that he was enjoying saying that to me."

"Don't pay attention to him William. I know that he is getting on your nerves but that's what he wants. He still feels stupid that you found the killer while you were supposed to be in the cells and he couldn't."

"Well, he is my superior now, it won't help." William sighed. "Why does it have to be about religion anyway. Maybe the shooter just didn't like the mayor for a completely different reason, there is actually a good chance it has absolutely nothing to do with religion."

"You may be right but you also have to admit, an alderman killed during an Orange Men parade, even if the intended target was the mayor, it is hard to think it was not linked to religious matters." Julia reasoned.

"I know, you're right … as always." William sighed.

"Don't be so sad about it, you should be used to it by now." Julia laughed, kissing him. "And look at us, we are the living proof that different religions can get along." she said, kissing him once more.

"We do more than get along Honey." William said, smiling as he put his arm around her to pull her to him.

"Honey? That's new." Julia laughed, putting her head on his shoulder.

"You like?"

"Yes I do."

"I love it when you say that." William said, kissing her hair. "Now let's go home, I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise? In what honour?"

"Why, in your honour my dear wife." William laughed, getting up and pulling her with him.

When they arrived, William asked for a few minutes before the surprise was ready so Julia decided to start preparing their dinner. When he appeared in the kitchen, he had something hidden behind his back.

"You seem very happy with yourself Mr Murdoch." Julia laughed.

"I am. Here, this is for you." William said, handing her a small box wrapped in colourful paper.

"What is it?"

"Do you really think I am going to tell you? Open it and see for yourself." William laughed.

As a child on Christmas morning, Julia tore the paper quickly and opened the box.

"Oh William! Did … did you do it yourself?" she asked, tears in her eyes.

"Yes I did. Do you like it?" he asked, not sure given the reaction she had when she opened the box.

"Do I like it? I love it William, it's so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much!" she said, putting the box on a nearby table and kissing her husband passionately. "You can always become a jeweler if the police work bores you." she laughed, kissing him one last time before taking the necklace out of the box. "Can you fasten it for me?"

William took the necklace from her and caressed his piece of art before fastening it.

"It is really wonderful, William." Julia repeated. "How did you do it?"

"Well, I thought about what you said, about the worth of the gold nugget so I decided to melt it. I didn't want you not to wear it for fear of being robbed or something. So I decided to customize it you could say, to something you can wear whenever you want."

"Did you draw it?"

"Yes." William said, blushing.

"It's so romantic, thank you." Julia said, kissing him, her fingers still playing with the pendant that her husband had created for her, a J and a W intertwined, the J forming the middle bar of the W. "I'm going to wear it all the time."
