Riley stood still as the shower jets caressed his body. After waiting for the police to take Parker’s statement, they’d called it a night and bade Melissa and Todd a good night. He was happy to see Parker had made a friend in Melissa. She seemed especially relaxed now that she’d gotten to the bottom of why Melissa hadn’t called. That kind of thing had happened plenty of times with him. People assuming something about him because he was in the spotlight all the time. Melissa and Todd seemed like nice people. He wouldn’t mind seeing them socially.

It was abundantly clear the showrunners loved Parker. The room was abuzz with great things to say about their new standout star. She was beautiful, charming, and had just enough of a Texas drawl that she was a marketing department’s dream come true. If she wanted, she could snag all kinds of promotional opportunities as she built her fan base. But Parker wasn’t into being the new face of Ultimate Champion. She wanted a fair chance at winning without the hype.

He’d forgotten to tell her he’d gotten into a conversation with another producer of the show who asked if he’d be interested in a spin-off, obstacle type show where pro athletes competed during their offseasons. He politely declined, but that didn’t stop the guy from slipping him his business card and asking if they could do lunch so he could give him the full pitch. But that was the nature of show business no matter the venue. Someone always had an angle. She’d stood her ground with Jen and made it clear she wouldn’t exploit their relationship for ratings.

He had to admit, he loved it when she went into protection mode over him. She may not have been forthcoming with her feelings in a conventional way, but she was ferocious when she thought someone was out to hurt him. Just like he was just as protective of her. The rigging of that light tonight was proof that there may have been something to those accidents plaguing the show. He’d seen the look in her eyes when she was inspecting that light. She was on the case, whether he liked it or not.

Oh well. It had been a fun night until the incident. His heart stopped when he saw that light fall and Parker ran over to push Wes out of harm’s way. It was just like her to put her life on the line. J.J. had warned him that Parker and Sam were cut from the same cloth and that meant it would take a lot of patience and understanding to see them do the things they did. She was genetically encoded to save the day, and it might have been endearing if he didn’t age a little every time she did something heroic. In a perfect world, she’d retire and do something sensible and safe behind a desk. He knew that sounded terribly sexist and chauvinistic, but he couldn’t help it.
