After the first snowfall, Christmas quickly followed. Annie had gotten all of her shopping done before the first of December even showed up while Laurie was just starting on the twentieth.
The majority of her shopping was done within the first hour; a box of berry tea for Mya, a grungy jean jacket for Harley, and a new stereo for Sheriff Brackett's truck. There was just one present left; the most important one on the list.
Laurie wandered around the mall for a good hour looking for that one certain gift. She was about to just give up and go somewhere else when she saw it. A small store with a large sign that read "Haddonfield Jewelers" wasn't what caught her eye; it was something in the window.
Before Laurie could even realize what she was doing, she was inside the store peeking into a particular glass case. There, under dim lighting, was a little silver band. Despite the size of the diamond attached to it, it was still stunning. Small and stunning, just like the girl who was going to (hopefully) be its new owner in five days time.
Ten minutes later Laurie was walking out with a small blue box tucked into her pocket. She had decided that since she and Annie are only seventeen, and since Sheriff Brackett still doesn't know about their relationship, she's going to give it to Annie as a promise ring of sorts. She'll just wait two years before she makes a different kind of proposal.
A/N: This was just a short little "memory". Anyways, I hope you guys don't think this was too out there. I took a chance by going way left field with the plot of my story, don't make me regret it. ;)
