Parker didn't like to think about the past. She didn't like to think about the past homes or the past men, the people who hurt her or even the occasional one who was kind to her. She had worked hard to leave that part of her behind.
Parker didn't like to think about the future. She didn't like to plan for tomorrow. There was too much uncertainty when it came to what might be.
Parker chose instead to focus on the now. She would live in this one moment with Hardison, holding on as long as it lasted.
