Clearly a social life is overrated. And yet everyone keeps telling Adam he needs one. Parker is almost literally the first person he's spoken to in a long time that isn't a boy named Ronan. That is, not unless they were put together on a mandatory mission in which he had to talk to them.

Really, in spite of the crazy driving and the hopping from topic to topic, Adam has lucked out with Parker. She has yet to judge him. She has yet to make him really question her motives. She's been up front with him in a way most people aren't. Surprisingly, he's fascinated by her in a way that people don't usually fascinate him.

"Can you teach me? Sometime?" Not now of course because the place is being turned upside-down. But sometime after this. "How to be better at not being noticed, I mean."
