Where in the timeline: about a year after the end of TASM, we'll call them engaged.
Letter: J
Word: Jam
As she washed the dishes, Gwen hummed to the music drifting around the kitchen from her iPod. It was late in the afternoon, and she expected Peter home any minute. The slow, sweet music helped keep her calm through the fact that any day could be the one he didn't make it in time for dinner.
She stopped as soon as she heard the front door's doorknob rattle, signaling Peter had arrived. Walking by the iPod toward the door, she slid the music down to a lower volume.
She greeted Peter with a domed handful of suds to the neck, and a kiss on the cheek.
He laughed and blew some of the bubbles at her quickly retreating figure. She stuck her tongue out at him and resumed washing the dishes.
After a moment, Mozart shut off and was replaced by some of Peter's music.
"Hey! I was listening to that," she exclaimed, flicking her wet hands at him.
He laughed and raised his hands in defense against the water. "I know you were listening to it, the question is, why?"
"Why?" She scoffed, leaning back against the counter. "That's my jam!"
Peter laughed. "Again with the why!"
With a swipe of wet fingers, she turned the soothing music back on, and grabbed Peter's hand, lifting it, and placing her other hand on his shoulder.
He picked up the message and they swayed around the kitchen, avoiding things like chairs and cleaning supplies as they did so.
"Because," Gwen breathed, her face very near his ear, "you can do this."
They spun and he dipped her so low that her shoulder length hair grazed the tile. She let out an excited giggle as they danced around the room to her music.
This would be among the moments they would both cherish the most, the ones sparked by a silly question or a single word. That's how their relationship worked. It was almost unreal, but to the two of them, it was the most true thing they had ever felt.
