A moment's peace and quiet

With everything that's been going on lately, 'Brina and I haven't gotten to spend any real time alone together. Fortunately, things last night got quiet enough for us to sneak off and just be together. Also gave us a chance to exchange engagement jewelry.

Personally, I think they look great one each of us. It may be a while before anyone sees the little clockwork heart charm she designed for me, or even longer before anyone else sees the captive ring I had made for her, but we know they're there and what they represent.

The whole 'Verse may still be in turmoil, but at least we got a moment's peace. Sometimes that's really all it takes to give a person the strength and focus they need to go on.

For ever and ever, ra'men.
