The photos taunted her. Becca kept passing by the box and wondered, but she wasn't ready to look through them yet. She finally shoved the box out of sight so that she didn't have the constant reminder, then hid herself away to work on a new painting. It was the one of Hunter sleeping peacefully from the other day.

The sound of a door opening jarred her from her painting a few hours later. She set the brush down and headed downstairs.

"Hi." Hunter stood at the foot of the stairs with a smile and his hands behind his back.

"What are you hiding?" She loved his smile, even though it was a little mischievous and with Hunter, that could mean so many things. Still, seeing a smile on his face melted her heart.

"Want to know? Come down here," he teased.

"I was already planning on it, so that works out well." But as she took the steps down, Hunter stepped back more and more. "Hey!" she protested.

All he did was chuckle and move again.

On the table where the box had been, Becca noticed a vase with roses and another box.

"What did you go and do?" she whispered, bringing her gaze back to Hunter.

"Today was rough. Once again I had to go over and over again about the crash and the past few years of events. I needed a reminder that not everything is crazy," Hunter explained, still keeping his hands behind his back. "I needed to find something that resembled one of your dreams. So I went looking."

"Hunter..." Becca shook her head. Okay, so she did love his spontaneous side most times.

"The only good to come from a tragic event was discovering a love with someone I admire." He leaned over to kiss her cheek. "You. I need to keep showing you just how much I need you. I know it's not all about getting you things, it's so much more, but these things signify something for a future date. Something to strive for. This is just one thing." Finally he handed her what he'd been hiding behind his back. A small, rectangular box about the size that might contain a necklace or some sort of jewelry. The sparkle in Hunter's eyes heightened her anticipation.

She opened it to discover a necklace with a gorgeous dolphin charm. With a gasp, she lifted it up, studying the necklace more. "This is beautiful."

He reached for it to unclasp the back, then gestured for her to turn around. "Hold your hair up," he requested. His voice radiated with love.

She did, and he slid the necklace around her neck, then closed it. She shivered at the feel of Hunter's fingers on the back of her neck. He gently spun her around to wrap her tight in his arms. "What happened today? How did it go?"

Before answering, Hunter gave her a kiss. "Questions, questions and more questions. All about the crash. About the past few years, about you, how I'm feeling. Triggers. The works. I found myself getting agitated, emotional, and most of all, missing you like crazy.
