Author's Note: One of my favorite chapters so far!
They sit there for a moment—both unsure of what to do. Tentatively, she places her head on his shoulder. It feels as good as she imagined.
"Parker," He says quietly. "Everyone's worried."
She doesn't say anything. She knows she caused the others pain, but to her the only way to deal with pain was cut yourself off from the world. It had always been what she had done before.
"You left," She repeats.
"I know," He soothes. He kisses the top of her head as she shuts her eyes for the first time in three weeks.
"Stay,"
He does.
Author's Note: Next, we'll have Parker and Eliot do some more jobs, go out on a date (maybe), and maybe we'll find out a little more about Eliot's past. Review/Request please!
