High above the world was her safe place, her sanctuary. Nobody to see her, nobody to hurt her, nobody to know she was falling apart.

It had been that way so long, Parker never saw it changing, until suddenly, one day, it did.

Eliot didn't talk much, but then she didn't need him to.

He wasn't big on heights but came to sit by her anyway, not even flinching as his legs dangled over the edge.

His arm went around her back and she never flinched either, just let her head rest on his shoulder, until the pain went away.
