Ford had never been one for symbols of things. Things were what they were, regardless of names and symbols or signs.

He loved Darcy, and he could no longer picture life without her. He certainly didn't want to. But when he had asked her to marry him, he hadn't asked because he himself wanted to get married. He honestly didn't care one way or the other, and he sure as hell didn't need some piece of paper or ceremony to tell him that he loved her. But, she did want to get married.

She also wanted wedding rings, for the both of them. Again he didn't really care. He didn't need a ring on his finger to be married. What was a wedding ring, anyway? A signal to others that one was married? A signal of "I'm claimed already." He didn't need it.

But just as he didn't need to get married or wear a wedding band he still would. Because she wanted that, and he didn't mind it. Hardly a price at all to pay for making her happy.

So they had taken one of their lazy days to go shopping. For rings. "So what kind of ring do you want?" He asked where they were walking down the street hand in hand. Further down that street were a jewelry store that he hoped would have something that would strike her fancy.

"She doesn't like me either, you now?" And truth be told, he wasn't sure what eh thought about her either. But he didn't want to purposely bait her and be an ass to her. With her, he felt he could at least keep the peace as long as she met him half-way.

"I didn't she didn't like you," she replied, looking up at him and trying to smooth it over. "I'm just not sure how she feels about everything. She's unstable in the way she reacts to things with me. Sometimes it's like she wants me around and other times she seems to want to get rid of me. I think she tends to be protective, that's all."
