01 – Ring
He waited for her to wear the ring before doing the same, not wanting to be part of a world without her in it.
02 – Hero
She knew she could never be a hero on her own, so she came back for him in that club to make sure they become heroes together.

His most distinct memory of her is the way her beautiful blue eyes locked with him when they first bumped into each other in the club that fateful night.
