So I have a small spoiler from RTL - Carter's Treasure; but I just had to brag on my husband....
First... the excerpt from the book....

“I have to do sound testing here in a little while, but I want to give you something. I meant to as soon as I saw you last night, but I got so excited to see you again—I forgot.”
He sat her on his couch and she tucked her legs up underneath her, trying to calm herself. She was the world’s biggest child when it came to surprises and holidays. She watched as he crossed to the kitchen counter. When he turned, he held out the small green velvet box tied with a satin bow.
“You didn’t have to get me anything, Carter.”
“It will make me feel better.”
She tried not to grin nervously at what that meant. Reaching up a timid hand, she took the box from him and waited until he sat back down beside her.
“Come on. Open it.” He smiled.
Molly slowly pulled the end of the ribbon and the bow fell apart. With the box still in her hand, Carter opened it for her. She tried to see the beautiful necklace, but looking through the tears made it hard to see the little platinum and diamond cross pendant.
“It’s beautiful, Carter. Thank you.”
Carter took the box and removed the necklace himself. Molly held her hair up and turned so he could put it on for her. “Na. It’s selfish on my part, really. I don’t like the thought of you doing what you do on a bike without a little piece of me with you.”
She turned back to face him, her fingertips on the cross. Carter reached up with his thumb to wipe the tears rolling down her cheeks.

Now... if you look to the picture I labeled "Molly's cross"... that IS Molly's cross. When I wrote the book, I just described what I saw in my head. My sweet husband took those words and searched until he found it. Today he surprised me with this necklace... Thank you for supporting me and my dream. I love the symbolism behind the grand gesture... thank you from the bottom of my heart.....
