The music is playing, the glitter is everywhere and outside the tent, the gondoliers are occasionally bursting into song.

Jack slipped up behind her and put his arms around her. "Parker, love of my life, inspiration for the future, muse, and everything else over the top I can think of," he moved to stand in front of her, grinning. "I think they might be playing our song."

"You are seriously charming for a deranged crazy person," Parker told him, smirking. "This? This paean to pathos?"

Jack tipped his head back and laughed. "This, yes this. It's not pathos, it's magnificent! Listen to him -- they were brave like soldiers! Granted, soldiers who might have been dumb enough to get tangled in a garden but you can't have everything." He snagged her hand and dragged her onto the dance floor. Singing. "Falling down under the pale moonlight."

Parker started laughing wholly unintentionally. "I now have an image of them getting caught on the geraniums. And the grammar. You were holding to me, like a someone broken.... Is English even his first language?" She moved into his arms with the ease of long familiarity, and sighed with the relief of it, relaxing as she swayed into him.

Snickering, he took the lead, though it was always a fluid thing between them. "Maybe not. Or the grammar's worth sacrificng for the sheer emotional impact of the thing." He hummed a bit, then smiled. "Just let me hold you while you're falling apart. It's not all stupid, though."

"No, not all of it," Parker admitted, looping her arms around his neck. "Just let me hold you while we all fall down. Although that sounds like London Bridge. Fall on me..." She giggled, and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"See, that just sounds painful. I'm sure it was supposed to be all self-sacrificing and oh my god there's nothing I wouldn't do for you, but I'm thinking he just ended up very bruised." He swooped her into a dip, leaning over her. "Possibly with broken ribs if they landed badly."

"And wouldn't a collapsed lung end their romance rather dramatically?" Parker curved back into the dip with a smile, then let herself be pulled back up, tightening her fingers on his. "Tell me everything you want me to be. Recipe for disaster," she added softly.

"Hell yeah," he said, meeting her eyes. "Never ask that question, not if you value your sanity." He shook his head. "Forever with you forever in me... I like that. That saves the song. Even when someone's not with you, they're still with you."

Which had her eyes clouding up a moment, and made Parker blink hard, then hang onto Jack just that little bit harder. "Yeah. That's the way it's supposed to be," she whispered. "Ever the same..."

He let out a long breath and pulled her closer, still moving to the music, and rested his chin on her hair. "That's the way it is."

The way it should be. Maybe she'd believe that, eventually. Somehow. She closed her eyes, and smiled a little. "Only with better lyrics."
