For antiqueskies who asked for Jarod/Parker.

. . .

He may be a genius, but it took him years to realize just how in love with her he was.

In all fairness, he had never experienced that kind of emotion before. All he knew of love was something abstract, an explanation given by Sydney to a confused and lonely teenager. He looked for love with Nia and Zoe and couldn't understand what was missing.

With Parker, he always feels complete, whether they're arguing or teasing or even just talking. With her he feels whole.

He can't imagine not having her in his life.

And knows she loves him too.
