I was thinking much the same thing about virginity, then I remembered Parker's age. He is so full of vitality, but he is young, (if not inexperienced). It's great to see him think things through, and grow as a person step by step.
I really loved this chapter, and was shocked at the mention of three months, it seems not so long ago when he first appeared at the store. Matt's understanding of finding opportunity in heartache resonated with me, I'm with a great guy now coz my last partner fell out of love with me. Some personal experience there? Sorry, not my business
Looking forward to more of this story of two wonderful, normal, guys. scott.
