Oh! I almost forgot." Gale suddenly takes a step back and grabs a small box from the nightstand. "

These blooms won't last forever, but I do have something that will." He opens the box to show Laurent two small carnation earrings. "One for you and one for me." Gale lifts the white earring out of the box and holds it up to Laurent's ear.

"I think the white one would look best on you."

Laurent nods before tilting his head and ear slightly. "I think I agree."

Gale knits his brow, but puts the earring into Laurent's ear regardless. "You haven't even looked at it in a mirror yet, my love…"

"I trust your judgment."
