It’s his mission to save her, being her hero includes all kinds of rescue like liberating her from his mother’s claws who got her secluded to the mansion like a prisoner.
Peter showed up with a whole afternoon planned, maps and notes under his arm with all the information a tourist needs to appreciate New York’s highlights, he even offered her a shopping guide with all the stores any girl would love to see.
She decided she wanted to witness the city through his eyes, she can always visit the tourist’s spots by herself, she would like to view his places the ones that means something to him.
They walked all the streets that made his life: the jungle park where he fell and Nathan had to take him to the ER, the corner that lead to his high school and where he got his heart broken the first time, his college buildings and his usual record store. The coffee shop where he worked a summer just to piss off his parents, the bookstore he used to hang up with his friends.
Immersed in a jacket slightly big for her frame, she followed his lead all through his stories and fondest memories, reliving moments, laughing when he told her a funny or embarrassing thing and comforting when he recalled his sorrows. Claire also talked about herself, growing up on Texas, having Lyle as a little brother, when she found up she was adopted. They shared everything they could, such complete honesty shocked them both.
They strolled comfortably in Central Park, it was getting colder and they should return but for them sounded impossible to end this day and broke the spell they created around them.
She said she’ll never get used to how freezing NY is in the winter, he smiled and took a lock from her face while snowflakes started falling, delicate and ephemeral, tangling in their clothes and hair.
She looked at him with such adoration it took his breath away, she was a ray of sunshine among the white surroundings.
He realized this was another remembrance to his list, probably his favorite: Claire’s first snowfall.
