I'm really lucky. All the thoughts that Liz is spilling out before him directly mirror his own. All of it. How lucky he felt, how surprised he was to discover she returned her feelings to begin with. Peter Parker wasn't the sort of guy who got the girl; he was the sort of guy who was called Penis Parker at house parties.
But Liz... Liz Parker was beautiful and brilliant and strong and all sorts of things that he wasn't sure she knew, but he knew really well. And he doesn't think she should feel lucky at all, even if she says she is.
Liz's fingers trace across the palm of his hand and Peter feels his heart race a little beneath her touch. Liz has a way of touching him that no one else really does. Her fingers shift from his palm to his index finger, and Peter continues to listen to her explanation.
