After they all had walked away, Betty slowly opened the case, surprised by what she found inside.
She gently pulled out a silver, pandora's bracelet, already paired along with a few meaningful charms.
She quickly noticed that the bracelet wasn't the only item in the case. Underneath where the charm bracelet sat, was a piece of paper. A handwritten letter.

Betty gently ran her finger over each special charm, a smile on her face.
Maybe he did care, she had just assumed he hadn't.
She deeply wished that he was there, right then with her.
She carefully put the bracelet on, making sure it locked in place before letting it go. She never wanted to take it off, ever.
She was right, Jughead Jones had gone soft, but only for her.

"What is that?" Veronica questioned, referring to the bracelet on her wrist. "Was that Jughead's gift?" The raven-haired girl continued, gazing at the pretty piece of jewelry.
"Maybe..." Betty replied, a smile forming on her face.
"It's so cute!" Veronica squealed, both girls clueless that Alice was listening from the doorway, unnoticed.
