Marie

I anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little. There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie. I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.

I take a deep breath and unlock the door. Karter was standing there with a polite smile on his face.

"Hey." Karter greets me.

"Hi. Thanks for coming. Come inside." I move aside.

"No worries." Karter smiles and walks inside.

Karter and I walk further inside the house and take a seat on the couch.

"How are you? You sounded upset on the phone. Everything alright?" Karter asks.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just been doing some thinking." I start off.
