Even now after all these years, I can hardly bear to think about it! During a battle with the Green Goblin, once again Peter suffered an agonizing loss! Even though I knew I would only be his second place I was there that time to comfort him and to love him."

"He's back! I musnt ever let him know how worried I was!" She quickly embraced him "Forget dinner I want to spend the rest of the night in your arms!"
