Chapter Ten – Carter

Carter took one last look at the house he had never called home and shut the gate. This time he didn’t lock it. As soon as he had finished talking to Will, he would come back and spend the day clearing the driveway and cutting back the weeds that had taken over.

He began to make a mental list of what he needed to do as they walked. He needed the utilities back on—he was not going to get a lot done without electricity, and he wanted them to move in here as soon as possible. It was time to make this old house into a family home. One where he and Caroline would raise kids.

“Will should be in his office,” Caroline told him as they entered the gates of the training center. It was a hive of activity. There were people painting the old warehouses, some assembling big glass houses, and some hauling wood. “Wow, things have moved on in the few days I’ve been away.”

They opened the door of Will’s office to find a man sitting behind a desk, talking on the phone. He put his hand up and waved, and mouthed, “I’ll be two minutes.”

Caroline slipped back outside, and they stood watching the workers. “There are a lot of people involved,” Carter observed.

“There are. I recognize some people from Bear Bluff. Looks as if everyone has been recruited to lend a hand. I’m not sure why,” Caroline said as the door behind them opened.

“Sorry, I was ordering more soil.” Will looked closely at Carter, before offering him his hand. “Carter Eden. I remember watching you in Space Monkeys. That was a good movie.”

Caroline raised her eyebrows. “You watched Space Monkeys?”

“Guilty as charged,” Will said with a grin. “It’s one of Carter’s lines from the movie.”

“Don’t start quoting more lines,” Caroline pleaded as Will opened his mouth to say more.

Carter laughed. “I didn’t expect to find anyone who remembered those old movies.”

“It was one of your first. A classic,” Will said, eying Caroline sideways. “What? I can’t understand how you have never watched one of Carter’s movies.”

“I’m sorry I’ve been too busy to watch Space Monkeys,” Caroline said hotly.

“What about Under a Midnight Fire?” Will asked. “That was a war movie.”

“Is that the one where you drove a tank?” Caroline asked.

“Guilty as charged,” Will and Carter said in unison.

“Oh my god, you two. Is this what I’m going to have to put up with every day?” Caroline asked, shaking her head but looking secretly happy that Carter was so relaxed around Will. Carter had expected to be wary of Will, from the way Caroline spoke about him; he’d also expected to be jealous. Nothing was further from the truth. He was a straight-up, what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of a guy.

“Every day?” Will asked, suddenly interested. “So that is how you got Carter off that mountain, and there was me worried about you going up there alone.”

“Will thought you might chase me off the mountain or something,” Caroline told Carter.
