Bad idea. BAD idea. Put your hand down, and don't knock. Nothing good will come of this. He's not into you. Well, he is… probably. But regulations. Put your hand down NOW, Major! That's an order! With respect, Ma'am, but no. YES! NO!
*knock knock*
God damn it.
Please don't be home. Your truck is here, but please don't be home. Be out walking your non-existent dog or something. Just, don't answer the door. Run! Run away! Just don't stand here like a complete idiot. Go! Now! Run!
'Carter… hi.'
Shit.
'Um… hi.'
'What can I do for you?'
Walk away. Just walk away. This is a big mistake, so just stop being an idiot and WALK AWAY! He doesn't love you! You don't love him. Wow, that's so not convincing anyone… Oh for the love of, how hard can it be? Get a grip, Carter! Just… say you've come to, I dunno, ask him if he wants to come over for a team night tomorrow! Yeah. Brilliant! Excellent. That's why you're a PhD!
'Carter…?'
SAY SOMETHING! Don't just stand here looking like an idiot. My God, woman, what's wrong with you?
Oh yeah.
Jack.
Fuck it.
'I love you.'
