Bruce’s usual confident attitude is contradicted by the slight shake in his hands that you don’t yet notice. He’s nervous you’re going to find it weird—and it honestly might be weird.

Who gives their partner their dead mother’s jewelry?

But it’s important to Bruce that you at least own it. He has never struggled to tell you how he feels, but this feels different. It’s a point in a relationship he’s never experienced before. But he knows it’s right.

“It’s no big deal.” Bruce says to try and make it seem like it’s a casual act when really, this feels like the most important moment of his life.

That might be dramatic. But his mother was the most important woman to him before she died and now…you’re the most important woman to him.

Bruce continues, eyes locked on the jewelry box in your hands, “You can wear it or…display it. Or even keep it in the box. Point is: it’s yours.”
