I own none of the characters of Bones
Years ago
"See ya Parker." Morgan told her brother.
"Really, that's all you have to say Morgs? See ya?" Parker asked her.
"What else should I say?"
"Uhh maybe something like you'll miss me or you love me." He squatted down to his sister's level. "And a hug would be nice."
"Fine." Morgan stepped into her brother's arms and she hugged him tightly. Even though she acted like she could have cared less that he wasn't coming home Parker knew better. He could tell by the way she clung to him that she was having a hard time letting him go. "Bye." She whispered and then she suddenly pulled away and climbed into the van.
"She's really going to miss you. She just has a hard time showing it." Bones told him.
"I know."
"I would say make me proud but you have already done that. I am very proud of the man that you have become."
"Thanks mom."
"I want you to make sure you do what I did not do while I was in college."
"What's that?"
"Enjoy yourself. I spent every minute of my college experience studying and I missed out on so many wonderful things and I don't want that for you. Your education is important but don't allow it to be the most important thing. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
"I hear you loud and clear mom." Parker hugged his mother tightly. "I love you mom."
"I love you too." She whispered, wiping away her tears. "Call if you need anything." Giving him one last kiss, she slipped into the van with Morgan.
"Mushy girls." Parker said to his dad with a grin.
"Yeah, and I have to drive home with them."
"I'll pray for you dad." The two men shared an identical smile. "So what advice do you have for me?"
"All I have to say is whatever happens, whatever direction that you want your life to take is up to you and the choices that you make. Think long and hard before you make your choices and make sure that they choices that you do make will make you the best man that you can be."
"Yes sir. I understand."
"I knew you would." Now it was Booth's turn to pull Parker into his arms. "I love you bub."
"I love you too dad."
"All right, I'll see you in about a month and don't forget your promise to your mom to call her at least once a week. I'll never hear the end of it if you don't which means that you will pay."
"Yes sir."
"Okay. We better get on the road." Parker nodded. He was afraid that if he spoke, he may cry. Booth nodded and he slowly walked to the van.
Parker stood in front of his dorm and waved as his family drove away. "Finally." He mumbled with a grin. Turning, he walked back into his new home, smiling at the fellow students who were milling around.
The process of applying and then choosing a college was a long, meticulous process. With the help and advice of his parents, he applied to Georgetown, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. With his near perfect grades and phenomenal SAT scores, he was accepted into all three Ivy League schools. Once he knew of his acceptances he had the difficult decision of choosing which school to attend. He quickly discarded Georgetown because it was too close to home and he felt that he wouldn't get the whole college experience. His parents told him that he could stay in the dorms at Georgetown but there was too big of a chance that his parents could show up at anytime, unannounced and he didn't want to take that chance.
He took months trying to decide between Columbia and The University of Pennsylvania. He made pro and cons lists, he researched the schools, he visited both schools multiple times with his parents, talked to fellow students and sought advice from his parents. As the deadline neared, he was struggling to make his choice, both schools seemed great to him and they had what he wanted. When it came down to making the choice for his future he chose The University of Pennsylvania instead of Columbia simply because his father grew up in Philadelphia, where the school was located.
Parker was staring intently at a map of the campus, not paying attention to where he was going when he ran right into something or rather someone. "Oh crap. I'm…" Parker looked down at the ground at the beautiful woman he had just knocked on her ass. "I am so, so sorry." He reached down and offered her his hand so he could help her up. She took it and allowed herself to be pulled to her feet. "I can't tell you how sorry I am. I was too busy reading this damn map, trying to find the bookstore." Parker glanced at the ground and saw this girl's books on the ground. He grinned at her. "Looks like you managed to find it." He squatted down and picked up her books.
"The book store is about another block up on the right."
"Thanks. I'm Parker by the way." He introduced himself.
"Hi Parker. I'm Emily."
"It's really nice to meet you Emily but I am sorry about the way that we met."
"It will make a great story one day."
"Can I buy you dinner to apologize for knocking you down?" He asked the beautiful girl and to help his case, he flashed the trademark Booth smile.
"I would like that, but I already may plans with my roommate to go to the freshman kickoff party at Dently Hall. Maybe I'll see you there?" Emily flirted.
"Yeah, maybe you will. It was nice knocking you on your butt."
"For once, it was actually nice being knocked on my butt." She smiled at him. "I'll see you around Parker." With a quick wave Emily left him standing in the middle of the campus, wiping the drool from his face.
"Look there she is." Parker nudged his roommate Eric in the ribs, pointing Emily out to him.
"She's hot. Go make your move."
"Should I knock her on her ass again?"
"Yeah. That will work." Eric joked. "Dude, get your ass over there and talk to her." Emily lifted her head and her eyes met Parker's. "Can't back out know. She has seen you. Go on. Make your move."
"Wish me luck."
"You've already knocked her on her ass. How much worse could it possibly get?"
"Gee thanks dude." Parker noticed Emily walking over to him. "I'm going in." Smiling broadly at Emily, Parker made his way over to her.
"I see you made it." She said when they finally met.
"I did. It's kinda wild here. How's your backside?"
"It's fine."
"Glad to hear it." Never in a million years, did Parker ever think that he would be asking a beautiful woman about her butt.
"I heard that there is some food in the basement. Wanna go scope it out?" She asked.
"Sounds like a plan." They maneuvered their way through the crowds of people to the basement where the smell of food was overwhelming. As the people thinned out Parker noticed the big keg sitting in the room. "Em, I'm sorry, but I've got to leave."
"But you just got here and you haven't even eaten yet."
"I know but I just can't stay." Emily gave him a confused look. "It's a long story."
"I've got time."
"You sure? You're good with leaving?" She nodded. "Okay. Let's go." Parker slowly reached out and took Emily's hand. Surprising them both, she didn't pull away. Grinning, like a kid in a candy store, he led her out of the dorm. "Well how about we see if we can find something to eat on this campus. I remember seeing a place on the map that sells Philly Cheese Steaks. My dad says that there is nothing else in the world like them."
"Sounds good."
"Damn, I wish I had that map." Parker quipped as the two of them began to wander around the campus.
"Who needs a map when we can explore? We can learn so much by just exploring."
"Yeah. We sure can." Parker agreed.
"So I want to start learning. Why couldn't you stay at the party?"
"God, this is so embarrassing." He mumbled.
"Come on. It can't be that bad."
"I made a very stupid decision last year."
"Haven't we all?"
"You're not going to let this go are you?"
"Nope." Parker sighed.
"The night of our homecoming game I went to a party. There was alcohol. I drank, got drunk, drove home and crashed my car. It was the worst decision that I have ever made." He said miserably.
"Oh my God. Was anyone…hurt?"
"Just a telephone pole, thank God because it could have been so much worse."
"So are you afraid that you'll be tempted to drink again?"
"No."
"So what is it?"
"Well I was arrested."
"Oh my God. Did you have to stay in jail?"
"No but at the time I wish I could have. My dad was so pissed off at me. I had never seen him so mad at me and I thought that I would be safer in jail."
"Did he hurt you?"
"Oh no. He would never hurt me. My dad is a really good guy. He was just very disappointed in me which was worse then the punishment that I actually got."
"What punishment was that?"
"Luckily, I was given probation, picking up garbage from the side of the road and going to local schools and speak about the dangers of drinking and driving. I had my driver's license taken away for a year and I'm on parole until I'm twenty-one, the legal drinking age and that's why I had to leave the party. I'm not allowed to be in the same room where alcohol is unless my parents are there to supervise."
"That's going to make college rough because there is alcohol pretty much everywhere around here."
"I will just have to be creative. I know I can walk away, I did it tonight when I had every reason to stay."
"What reason would that be?"
"The company of a beautiful woman."
"Aren't you a slick one?" Parker just grinned at her and Emily felt herself melting, a little more every time he flashed a smile.
"Oh look, cheese steaks, dead ahead."
They went over, ordered their cheese steaks, fries and drinks and then they found an outdoor table. "My dad is so right. These things are delicious. Maybe I should send him some of these babies." Emily laughed.
"So Em, are you from around here?" He asked after he managed to swallow his first, gigantic, bite.
"Nowhere exciting. Just Ohio. What about you?"
"I'm from D.C."
"I love D.C. I went there once on a school field trip. We went to this amazing museum, The Jeffersonian. That was my favorite part of the whole trip. Have you ever been there?" Parker could see the excitement shining in her eyes.
"Oh yeah. I've been there. I feel like I have lived there."
"Excuse me?"
"I worked in the museum throughout high school as a tour guide or a cashier in the gift shop."
"That is so cool."
"And my mom…" Parker was interrupted by his cell phone ringing. "Excuse me. Sorry about this." He pulled his phone out and flipped it open. "Hello?"
"Hi Parker. It's me Morgan."
"Hey Morgs. Is everything okay?"
"Yes. Everything is fine. Mom made your favorite macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight."
"Oh yeah? Well I'm eating a Philly cheese steak."
"Man, daddy loves those. Every time we watch an Eagles or a Fliers game daddy tells me how good those sandwiches are."
"I know. Maybe I will bring one home next month."
"That would be awesome Parker." Parker knew she was grinning on the other end. "So how is college?"
"College is fine."
"Have you met any girls yet?"
"Did you call for a specific reason or did you call just to annoy me?"
"I called to rub the macaroni in your face."
"I figured as much."
"But she only made it because she misses you."
"That's not true Morgan."
"No it is. I heard her telling daddy that she misses you."
"It will get easier and she won't miss me as much the longer that I am gone."
"I miss you too." Morgan whispered so quietly, that he barely heard it. He was tempted to torment her and ask her to repeat herself but he knew that she wouldn't and he didn't want to ruin the moment. "I've been sleeping in your bed."
"I miss you too and don't get to used to sleeping in my bed cause when I come home I get my room back."
"I gotta go. I love you Parker."
"I love you too Morgs." Parker was smiling as he hung up the phone.
"Your girlfriend?"
"Good God no. That was my sister, Morgan. She's ten and I think that she misses me." Emily laughed.
"There are a lot of years between the two of you. Did your parents have trouble deciding that they wanted another kid after you? Were you that much of a child terror?"
"Nah. My parents didn't get married until I was eight. My mom, Temperance, is actually my step mother. She has raised me since I was eight when my mom was murdered. I met Bones, that what my dad calls her, when I was four. She is a forensic anthropologist who works with the F.B.I. identifying bodies and discovering how they were murdered by using their bones to do it. She and my dad have the highest solve rate in the history of the F.B.I." Parker said proudly.
"So your dad is an anthropologist too?"
"No way. My dad is an F.B.I agent and he and mom are partners. He calls my mom and the other scientists that they work with squints because they are always squinting into their microscopes and believe me, my dad would never be considered a squint."
"So your parents are like real life heroes?"
"To them, no. They are just doing their job and making sure that justice is served but to me, Morgan and the families of all the murder victims that they had helped, they are heroes." Emily became quiet and began to twirl her drink around aimlessly with her straw. "You okay?"
"I'm so sorry about your real mother."
"Thanks. It happened a long time ago but it gets easier. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her."
"I'm not sure if it will get easier." She mumbled. Reaching out and placing his thumb under her chin, he lifted her face and was shocked to see tears in her eyes.
"Em. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"My twin sister, Lauren was murdered when I was ten. They never found out who did it."
"God, I am so sorry Emily."
"You know, I've accepted that she is gone, it's been eight years but what I can't accept is the not knowing. There is still someone out there who killed my sister who has not been held accountable and that's the hardest thing. Did they find out who killed your mom?"
"We knew. I was there. This guy that she was dating became all crazy and shot my mom and dad right in front of me. He would have killed me had it not been for Bones. Dad snuck a gun to her and she killed him." Parker told her quietly. Even though it had been ten years, he could still his mother, bleeding to death in front of him and the crazed look in Brent's eyes as he shot his father.
"Well aren't we a pair?" Emily said.
"Two peas in a pod. " Parker could see that Emily was struggling to try and remain upbeat in light of this heart-wrenching conversation. "Do you bowl?"
"Bowl?" Emily seemed kinda confused.
"Ya know, bowling? You take a ball, roll it down the lane and hit the pins with the goal of knocking them all over."
"Yes smartass. I do know what bowling is."
"Are you up for a couple games of bowling? It might help us get our minds off of our past. I saw a bowling alley yesterday when I wandering aimlessly around this campus and I may be able to find it again."
"That sounds like a really good idea." After throwing their trash away, they walked around the campus, holding hands, looking for the bowling alley.
"I'm really sorry for bringing up all of that sad crap." Emily told him.
"Technically, I brought it up by talking about my mom."
"How many people can say that they spent their first date talking about murdered family members?"
"So this is a date?" Parker teased and Emily turned red.
"Well I…uhhh…I just assumed…" Finally, Parker put her out of her misery, stopped walking and turned to her.
"I'm just messing with you. I really hope that this is a first of many more dates."
"So do I." Emily whispered softly. Staring into each other's eyes, Parker was about to go in for the first kiss, but a group of rowdy, college freshman were heading in their direction so he decided to wait, until it could be a little more private. They reluctantly, broke eye contact and continued walking.
Three hours later, around midnight Parker was walking Emily back to her dorm. They found the bowling alley and spent the rest of the night playing and having a blast. While they played they spent time learning things about each other. By the end of the night, Emily knew that Parker was majoring in Forensic Anthropology, his favorite food was his mother's mac and cheese, favorite drink, Dr. Pepper and his favorite dessert is pie; any kind of pie. She also knew his favorite movies, books, and television shows. He shared stories of his childhood, stories about Morgan, and stories of the times that he spent at The Jeffersonian. By the end of their date Parker knew as much about Emily as he knew about her. Her major was Psychology; something Parker thought was amusing because Bones had drilled it into his head that psychology was a soft science. Emily's favorite food was pizza with mushrooms and onions. She loved to drink iced tea and had a weakness for anything chocolate and they enjoyed the same kind of movies and books. It seemed to be a match made in heaven.
"I had a really nice time tonight." Emily whispered as the stood beneath a tree.
"So did I and I really would like to this again."
"I would too."
"Maybe Saturday, if you're okay with driving I would love to treat you to dinner, off campus."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Great. Wherever you want to go, we'll go."
"I can do that."
"There is something else that I would like to do." Parker said, taking a step closer to her.
"What's that?"
"I would like very much to kiss you."
"I would like as well."
"I was hoping you would say that." Reaching out, Parker placed his hand on her cheek, leaned forward and he softly pressed his lips to hers. The instant that their lips met, both of their hearts began to beat rapidly. This kiss felt perfect. Their mouths opened, frantically trying to get as much contact as possible but their tongues stayed in their owner's mouth. Parker didn't want to push things to far.
"That was nice." Emily mumbled when they broke apart. "I can't wait until we do that again."
"Well, since you're so eager…" Parker leaned forward and kissed her again. After about ten minutes they finally broke apart, panting. "That was…wow."
"I concur but if I don't go inside right now I may not go in at all."
"You're right. Goodnight Emily."
"Good night Parker."
"Daddy, where is he?" Morgan asked impatiently from the backseat.
"We're early angel. He probably hasn't come down from his room yet." Booth answered his anxious daughter as he parked his SUV.
"Can we go up and get him?"
"I guess we can." Morgan was out of her seatbelt and the SUV in a matter of seconds and Booth had to smile at her excitement at seeing her brother. "Come on daddy."
"I'm coming." Booth had to take her hand and hold her back because if not, she would be flying across the parking lot. As they neared the dorm entrance, Booth noticed his son, off to the side playing tonsil hockey with a fellow student, Emily he assumed from past phone calls that he and Parker had shared. "Hey Morgan…"
"I think I see him. Is that Parker over there with that girl and are they...Oh My God. Daddy look, they are kissing."
"Let's give them some privacy."
"Let's not and say we did."
"Morgan." Booth gave her his best dad glare and her bottom lip popped out in a pout. "You know I'm all for embarrassing Parker but in the process of embarrassing him we will end up embarrassing his girlfriend as well and I don't want to do that. She is pretty important to him and I don't want to make her uncomfortable."
"Fine."
"That's my girl." Morgan shifted impatiently until Parker and Emily broke apart. As soon as Morgan saw that she looked at her dad, who nodded and she raced over to her brother.
"Parker." She yelled right before she threw herself at him.
"Morgs." Parker laughed as he hugged his sister. "I've missed you."
"Me too." She said sincerely. Morgan pulled away from Parker but stood right next to him, holding his hand.
"Sorry about hurricane Morgan. She couldn't wait to see you." Booth said as he walked over.
"It's no problem. I could get used to this." Parker reached his one free hand out and hugged his dad. "It's good to see you dad."
"You too bub."
"Where is mom?"
"She has court today."
"Oh." Parker really wanted his mom to meet Emily. "Dad, Morgs, I would like for you to meet Emily. Emily this is my sister Morgan and my dad Seeley."
"Mr. Booth, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too."
"Morgan, I'm so glad that I we finally met. I have heard so much about you." Emily told her.
"I haven't heard anything about you. I didn't even know that Parker had a girlfriend."
"Morgan!" Booth said sternly.
"What did I do?"
"Nothing Morgs. You are just being yourself." Parker said with a grin. "I'm going to say goodbye to Emily and then I'll meet you in the car."
"You have already kissed." Morgan pointed out.
"Emily, again, it's nice to meet you. I hope we get to see each other again. Morgan say goodbye. We're going to wait for Parker in the car."
"Bye Emily. It was nice meeting you."
"Wow Morgan. You can be polite." Booth said to her as they walked away.
"Of course I can. I just sometimes choose not too." Booth chuckled at her comment. Morgan reluctantly climbed into her seat and watched her brother and Emily kissing. "Daddy?"
"Yes dear?"
"Why do people kiss all of the time?"
"Excuse me?"
"You and mom kiss all of the time and now Parker is kissing Emily. Why do people kiss?"
"Well when adults kiss, it's a way of expressing the love that they feel for each other. One day, God help me, you will be kissing boys."
"I don't think so. It's disgusting and very unsanitary."
"Keep thinking that way angel and you will make your daddy very happy."
"Whatever."
Parker joined them a few minutes later and they spent the drive home catching up or more accurately, Morgan caught Parker up on everything. She finally fell asleep during the last hour most likely because she exhausted herself from talking, giving Booth and Parker some one on one, man to man time.
"Wow, I can't believe how much Morgan missed me. I figured that she would miss me and never admit it because she is so stubborn but I never expected this."
"It took me by surprise too. She spent the first two weeks sleeping in your room and I hope that you have no plans of getting Mr. Tipton back because Morgan has been sleeping with him."
"Aww man. Not Mr. Tipton." Parker said with a grin. Mr. Tipton was a stuffed dinosaur that Bones bought for him when Booth was in his coma. Parker randomly named him Mr. Tipton and they were constant companion for years.
"Your mom misses you too. Between the two of them, walking around the house like lost puppies, it's been loads of fun. Are you sure you don't want to transfer to Georgetown?"
"I'm good. Things are going really well where I'm at right now."
"I saw." Booth said smiling.
"It's not just Emily. I really like the school, I've got a good roommate and my classes are going really well."
"Good for you."
"But speaking of Emily, do you like her dad?"
"Parks, I didn't even spend five minutes with her. I can't make an opinion based on the short amount of time I spent with her."
"Yes you can. You can read people within seconds." Parker insisted.
"Fine. From what I saw she seems like a lovely girl."
"Lovely girl? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I like her Parker and that's really all I can say."
"That will work."
"Just remember you are in college to get an education and that should be your first priority."
"I know and it is dad."
"Glad to hear it."
"How did you know that you were in love with mom?"
"Do you think that you may be in love with Emily?"
"I don't know."
"How did I know that I was in love with Bones? Well our relationship was complicated. After our first case, we didn't really like each other. Honestly, if you would have asked me back then if I could ever see us being in love I would have said no way in hell. The more we worked together, the more we got to know each other and we became friends. Our friendship blossomed into something more without either of us realizing it. Eventually I figured it out when I couldn't stop thinking about her. I knew that I was in love with her because I couldn't imagine my future without her in it and her happiness was all I wanted even if it wasn't with me."
"I haven't stopped thinking about her since we met. Have I been in love with her since then?"
"I can't answer that for you son. It's different for everyone and there isn't a formula to determine if you are in love with someone. You just…know."
"I know that we have only been together for six weeks but I think I might love her."
"And?"
"What about if I tell her and she freaks out and thinks that I'm some weirdo because she thinks that it is too soon or what if I wait to tell her and she thinks that I don't have the balls to tell her how I feel and she finds someone who will? Tell me what to do." Parker begged his father.
"Parks, I can't tell you what to do. The time to tell Emily how you feel is up to you. The only advice that I can offer you is listen to your heart and you'll just know when it's right." Parker knew his dad was right but couldn't resist a little jab.
"According to mom, the heart can't tell…"
"Hey now don't you start." Booth chastised with a smile. "I know that Bones says the heart is just a muscle and it has nothing to do with feelings but she is a squint and that's how squints think. Just because you are on your way to becoming a squint doesn't mean that it will take away the part of you that is me and that part believes that the heart is more than a muscle."
"I understand mom's point of view on the heart but I am your son after all and us Booth men wear our heart's on our sleeve."
"Damn straight boy."
"Thanks for the advice dad. You've given me a lot to consider."
"No problem. That's what I'm here for."
The following night Parker was surprised when he returned home to find his parents still awake. His year without a driver's license was up and he took and passed his test that morning and he spent most of the day driving around, just because he could. Later on that night he hooked up with a couple friends from high school that were still in town to catch up and it ended up being a late night.
"You guys weren't waiting up for me were you?" He asked
"No."
"Yes."
"Bones!" Booth exclaimed.
"What? We were waiting up for him. Why would I lie about that?"
"Never mind Bones."
"I know that it's late but can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure bub, sit down."
"Is everything okay? Did something happen while you were out?"
"No mom. Everything is fine. It's actually, not about me."
"What's up?" Booth asked, now intrigued.
"It's about my girlfriend, Emily."
"Oh no. Is she pregnant?" Bones asked.
"No. We haven't even…no. She's not pregnant."
"Thank God." A look of hurt flashed across Parker's handsome features. "Parker I didn't mean it like it sounded." Bones explained. "I want you to have children one day. I just want that day to be in the future, after you are done with college and possibly after you are married."
"Anyway, when Emily was ten her twin sister was murdered. They never found who did it."
"What are you asking Parks?"
"I'm asking you and mom to take over the case and catch the bastard that killed a little girl."
"Language Parker."
"He's right Booth. Anyone that kills a child is a bastard."
"Bub, is it a possibility that Emily knew about us and what we did for a living before you met and she's using your relationship to get the F.B.I. to look into her sister's case?"
"No dad. It's not possible." Parker snapped. "I was reading a map and not watching where I was going and I physically knocked her down. There is no way that she could have known that I would be in the quad when I was in the quad. Hell, I didn't even know that I was going to be at the quad until I decided to go. It wasn't her idea for me to ask you. It was all mine and when I brought it up, she balked at first and I had to talk her into actually letting me ask you guys. God dad, how could you ask me something like that?"
"I'm sorry but I had to ask. I am just trying to look out for you and keep you from getting your heart broke."
"I appreciate that dad but I'm a grown man and if my heart gets broke then it's on me but Em, she isn't that kind of woman. Let me say this again, it was my idea to ask you guys to look into Lauren's case. It was all me."
"I believe you Parker. Bones, are you willing to look into this case?"
"That ten year old girl deserves justice Booth."
"I agree. Since she was a minor this does fall under F.B.I. jurisdiction so I will run this past my boss but I don't think it will be a problem. Once we get the okay, your mom and I will find Lauren's killer." The confidence in Booth's voice left no room for doubt in Parker's mind that his parents would find his girlfriend's sister's killer.
"Thanks mom. Thanks dad."
Six weeks after Booth and Bones got the case of Lauren Jacobs they had rock solid evidence that led to a local, trusted, high school teacher. Over the years, the crime fighting duo has had many hard, difficult cases that have hit them hard over the years, especially cases involving children. This case, maybe because they knew the victims family, maybe because Lauren was the same age as Morgan is when she was killed but regardless of the reason this case hit them both really hard. During those six weeks, Booth had trouble sleeping. Every night as he tried to sleep he was plagued with thoughts of the fear that little girl most of felt during her last few minutes on earth and it made him sick. Bones on the other hand would fall asleep but only be awoken multiple times from nightmares about Lauren's last moments as she fought like hell for her life and often those nightmares replaced Lauren with Morgan. When they closed the case and told Lauren's parents that they caught their daughter's killer they knew that even though it took eight years, justice for Lauren Jacobs was served and Booth and Bones were very thankful that the jobs that they loved allowed that to happen.
On the day that Parker told Emily that his parents caught the man who murdered her sister she fell into Parker's arms, shedding tears of joys. Once she calmed down he finally told her that he loved her and Emily responded by telling him that she loved him also.
Thanks fore reading. Please review with your thoughts.
