That's a wonderful story. Nicely written too and throughout believable. Usually I am more into romance stories (at least when it comes to fanfiction) so I hesitated to rea this one. I am happy to have read it as it set my mind at ease. Thank you very much for sharing it. (This is my first review here on this site, so you can imagine what your stories means to me)

Wow.  That.  Was.  Beautiful.

Not many people can pull off Parker in a moment of weakness.  You managed to make it symbolic and poetic while still being completely in character.  That's amazing.
