Anne nodded, she was still having trouble speaking. Her voice seemed to be lost. She was touched. Parker was not one for talking like this. He was showing that he truly cared. It meant so much to her. She hugged him briefly. He wasn't much for physical displays of affection. She on the other hand would hug him all day. His words meant so much.

Anne wiped her tears and turned to face Parker. She left his arm around her shoulder. She found it comforting. She missed him. She missed everyone. All of her friends. She was glad to see one of the people she thought of when times were tough.

"Thank you Parker, Love was all that got me through all those years. My love for Damien and for my Parents. My love for you and all my friends. That's what kept me going. That's what kept me sane and alive for all those years. Love." She said a small smile showing on her face.

Parker sighed in relief, memories of his second year when he had tried to comfort her about Hugo the first time flooding into his mind. He had actually been able to do something right this time it seemed. Thank you, Healer Training, he thought, for helping him be able to form the words quickly.

When she turned to him he kept his arm on her shoulders, and looked at her. He nodded at what she was saying. He smiled, "Good, and it's going to keep you going, alright?"

He sighed, realizing that much the same, some sort of hope got him through his years. Hoping his friends had all gone on to live happy lives, with families and good jobs and all of that. He knew then and knows now that things are never perfect, but that hope and wishing, helped much the same to keep him sane enough and keep going.

Anne nodded than looked at her watch. She had to be home in five minutes. She really enjoyed talking to Parker even if it wasn't the best conversation. She really missed him, she missed everyone.

"I'm sorry Parker but I have to run." She said standing up. "My nanny is going to leave right away."

"I'll see you at school" she said over her shoulder. She then disaperated with a loud crack.
