Carla.

Carla Warren.

Carla Warren with the beautiful smile.

Walter felt calm, absolute stillness within himself for the first time in years as her sweet name echoed softly in his mind over and over. The young lady who spent time in the lab with him now, the one with the gloriously curly hair, sat next to him on the steps of the laboratory. His head rest on her shoulder and she had handed him a white cloth handkerchief that surprisingly enough smelt of hyacinths, his third favourite flower.

"I'm getting your sweater wet," he whispered softly as the warm tears continued to slide down his face and onto the soft blue cashmere of this morning's clothes.

"That's what the handkerchief is for," she whispered back and he could hear the smile in her voice.

"You're too good to me," he murmured before he made a loud snort into the white cloth.


A/N: Holy cow, I thought that Mrs. Warren was Peter's mum and I panicked. It's too soon in the series to know that!!!!

Random Fringe Prediction: Liv's sister is going to keep putting the moves on Peter :P
