Moments Like This: Chapter Ten
In the two and a half years that they had worked together, Parker had never once seen Eliot Spencer cry or even look like he was close to crying. But now was a completely different story.
Now, he'd made his way to the roof and he was visibly crying. It hurt Parker to see him like this, but she wasn't sure what to do. Eliot wasn't big on sharing his emotions and in the rare moments when he did, he preferred to keep to himself. He would often disappear for a couple days and then return to the office, acting like everything was fine.
He hadn't done that this time. Sure, he'd put some physical and emotional distance between him and his team, but he'd only gone up to the roof. He hadn't taken off to God only knew where this time. Parker didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. At this moment, though, she honestly didn't care. All she cared about was Eliot. And right now, Eliot was hurting.
She took a deep breath and crossed the roof, not stopping until she had settled against his side and wrapped her arms around him. She felt him relax after several moments and drop a kiss into her blonde hair.
He didn't say anything, just held her as tears continued to slide down his face. She didn't say anything either, knowing that we would talk when he was ready and that pushing him would only shut him down further.
