Cleo reached her hands to find him and when she did she wrapped him up in a hug. She was also 5'8 and her body was thin and lithe, her elbows a bit bony. Her perfume smelled like summer and her hair had the faint fruity smell of her shampoo. She wore a soft cotton shirt with capped sleeves that was slightly flowy and fitted blue jeans. Her hair was long and slightly wavy, reaching down to the middle of her back.
Her hands found the scarf around his neck and she grinned. "Is that the scarf I gave you?" She asked with delight.

"Sure is! It's all nice and cozy, just like you!" Parker said as he hugged Cleo back. His hair was thick, mostly straight and a little shaggy. On his face was just a little bit of scruff, though neatly trimmed. Parker touched the top of Cleo's head "Ooo we're about the same height!" he said with a laugh. "And you smell so good!"
"I didn't even have to make a wish on something o find you! Wow I'm good at wishing or something!"

Cleo giggled. "I'm so glad you like the scarf." She said to him.
"Same height is pretty nice." She admitted with a little chuckle. "Yes, yes, you must be a wishing expert." She said playfully.
"This is just so surreal! I can't believe we're here!" She said, her hands resting on Parker's chest.

"Ok so this is the part where I admit that when I was a teenager, my little sister loved Gossip Girl and I saw a few episodes with her and decided that Chuck Bass is a style icon, so I totally started wearing scarves for fun, and not just because I like cold weather." Parker said with a laugh. "I was wearing an electric blue scarf when I walked into this whole experiment and now here we are, where I have an even softer blue scarf." he said, giving her a squeeze.
"What I mean is I'm really glad to be here with you right now. And I promise to protect you from all the ghosts that might be lurking about."

Cleo giggled. "Oh my gosh I love that! I've never even seen Gossip Girl but I know who you're talking about at least." She said with another laugh.
"Oh ya! The ghosts! Don't remind me!" She said playfully, covering her face with her hands and hiding her face in Parker's shoulder.

"I'm not a bard or anything, but that's some kind of full circle thing that tv shows do right?" Parker said with a laugh, regarding the scarf, "I definitely had to learn about motifs and stuff at some point, it'll help me in the real life rom com that I think I'm now living in"
Parker held her tight and rubbed her back, "I got you," he said. "You're really amazing, but I'm sure you know that."

Cleo laughed sweetly into his chest. "You're adorable." She told him. After a few moments she sighed, relaxing into his touch and her arms slipped around his waist to hold him, her forehead still resting against his chest. "This definitely feels like a rom com doesn't it?" She asked with a chuckle.

"It sure does," Parker said with a laugh, "Now all we have to do is find the true meaning of Christmas and we're ready for hollywood!" Parker planted a kiss on Cleo's forehead, "Waffles or pancakes? Chocolate or vanilla? And what's the best way to have a potato?"

Cleo laughed. "Hollywood, here we come!!" She replied.
"Pancakes, especially if they are from Ihop with their strawberry syrup. Chocolate all the way. And..." She drew out the word while she was thinking. "Roasted or as hashbrowns." She finally decided. "That was hard, I didn't realize how many different ways there are to eat potatoes." She chuckled.
"Which celebrities are on your freebie list?" She asked with a giggle, her cheeks turning slightly pink. "Like the ones you'd have sex with and it'd be okay with your spouse because they are 'on your list'."

"I've been waiting forever to use that potato icebreaker," Parker admitted, "My favorite way for a potato is vodka of course, but curly fries are a close second," he said with a laugh. "I seriously think that potatoes are the most interesting food."
"Oooo that question is almost unfair!" Parker said with a good natured laugh " Ooo ummm I feel like Jennifer Lawrence is really really nice and funny... and Halsey because... well she's Halsey... Ali Wong. Absolutely Ali Wong because she's hilarious and would laugh at my jokes."

"Oh ya! I forgot vodka is made from potatoes. What a miraculous little spud."
She laughed at his choices. "Ali Wong?!" She said giggling. "That's hilarious, she's so funny! I wouldn't have guessed her to be on anyone's freebie list though."

"They sure are, I had a roommate in college that was. majoring in sculpture and he made a bong out of a potato once," Parker said with a laugh. "And yeah, Ali Wong is one of the funniest people alive in my opinion. I'm straight but Keanu Reeves also makes it onto my freebie list when I think of it, he's just so wholesome!"
"Ok so now you have to spill who my celebrity competition is!" Parker said.

Cleo laughed brightly. "Oh, Keanu Reeves is so hot right now! Everyone loves him! I have to agree, he's pretty cool." She agreed.
"Let's see. My list would be Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr, and Adam Levine." She said with a chuckle.

"So does that mean we're in an agreement that if Keanu Reeves ever offered, we'd be down for a threesome with him?" Parker asked with a laugh. "You know I can see Iron Man and Adam Levine... you gotta explain why Hugh Jackman though. I guess I see the attraction with the muscles and all but I like to think I'm cuter than him." he teased.
"Overall, I can't say I'm a very jealous person, never have been. I'm all go with the flow hippie dippy shit and sunshine."

Cleo laughed. "I said 'cool', not 'hot'. I cannot see myself in bed with Keanu Reeves." She giggled.
"Well I guess we'll just have to see if you're cuter than him." She said teasingly. "As for why I like him, I, um, well I kind of have a thing for other guys. Someone who can age well. That sexy touch of grey in a man. Mmmm." She said with a little shudder. "So hot."
She sighed then and squeezed Parker. "You're just so fun Parker. I really like spending time with you and I could definitely see sharing a life with you." She told him, a hint of sadness in her tone. "But I should tell you, that things progressed a lot with Alex this morning and we've decided to focus on just each other from this point on." She explained. "But you're really such an amazing guy and I won't lie and say it's easy to let you go, because it's not. I really hope we can still be friends. And I know that whoever you end up with be a very very VERY lucky woman." She said shyly.

"You know what... you're not wrong about that..." Parker just said, "Though I'd disappoint, my dad didn't get gray hair until he turned 46 and I'm 25 but I still look like I'm 18 sometimes."
"And hey, no hard feelings. You're really cool and I'm really glad for all the time I got to spend with you," Parker said gently, as the familiar feeling of rejection creeped back into his mind. "I'm just glad that you know that you'll be happy. He's a lucky guy and you're a lucky girl."
"I honestly wonder if I'll be leaving here alone, but hey that means I'll probably get invited to a lot of weddings, and I can pick out cool ties," he added, trying to see his sunshine again.

Cleo felt bad. She really hated hurting people's feelings. She spent her whole life trying to avoid any sort of conflict, but sometimes she didn't have a choice and that always sucked.
"I'd be surprised if you left here alone. You're honest an amazing guy! And allll the girls were talking about you. You apparently really know the way to a woman's heart." She said encouragingly.
"Should we head out of here?" She suggested.

LEFT
"Yeah but you haven't heard rest of the guys, I don't actually think I really stand a chance. I don't feel that sure the way the other guys do. At least I don't think so, I don't know what that feeling would feel like and maybe I have it and I'm just waiting for the wrong thing," Parker mused. He moved his hand like he was waving the thought away, "Eh I don't know what you're talking about, I just say whatever my heart tells me to, it's the easiest way to live." "I came here knowing something would probably hurt, but I'm kinda used to it so I'd rather it be my heart getting broken than me breaking someone's heart since I'm good at fixing it up after," Parker said, way too cheerfully for his situation. "Come on, let's get you to your person."

A small pinprick of green light lit up and showed them which path they needed to go down. Once they followed it they would reach their first turn. LEFT, RIGHT, or MIDDLE?
Each round going forward will consist of 2 turns. So BOTH of you should pick a direction from the 3 available options. I have a predetermined order of correct turns you need to make in the correct order to get to the end. Good luck!
(since Parker already posted a direction, I 'll wait for Cleo to post and then I'll pop in after her)

MIDDLE
Cleo made a sad little humming sound, despite his cheery tone as they started to move through the maze together. After a bit she spoke again. "I just want you to know, I need you to know, that it was nothing you did or didn't do. You don't need to change, you just need to find the right person. Maybe she's here, maybe she's not, but when you find her...it will be magic."
