"They say Eskimos have several different words for snow" Carter read Raina's line while Jack listened intently "and they kiss with their noses" she read Craig's line. The two teens were lying in the snow staring up at the stars as they talked "how?" she read Raina's part "with their noses" Craig's line "like this?" he had continued. Craig and Raina's noses touched "and this is how butterflies kiss… with their eyelashes" Raina demonstrated "when I was a kid I used to pluck out my eye lashes" Craig's part "oh god why?" Raina asked "cuz I thought they made me look like a girl" he replied "ouch… you wasted wishes. When you pluck an eyelash, you need to make a wish" Raina explained. Carter paused and looked at Jack curiously
"What?" Jack asked confused
"What did you wish for?" she asked "when you wished off my eyelash, sir?" she explained and Jack sighed
"It doesn't matter. I got my wish either way" he replied and Carter stared at him
"You wished I would come fishing didn't you?" she accused
"No" he said in a slightly irritated tone
"It's alright sir, I don't mind" she said smiling
"I didn't wish for you to come fishing" he corrected and Sam stared at him expectantly
"Sir?" she asked gesturing for him to speak up and he sighed
"I wished for you to get better" he muttered incoherently
"Excuse me sir?" Carter asked not hearing him
"I wished for you to get better alright!" he snapped and Carters eyes went wide but she didn't speak. She smiled to herself and opened the book again and continued reading.
"A wish?" Craig asked plucking out his eyelash "yeah" Raina replied plucking out her own. The two teens exchanged eyelashes. Their hands touched and then they kissed.
Carter almost laughed as she showed Jack the drawings of the two teens making out in the snow. Jack glared at her
"Put the book away Carter" he warned and she chuckled as she skipped the sappy scene for him. "Chapter 5, I don't wanna grow up" she read.
"Im not reading this scene sir. How long has it been?" she asked checking her watch "3 hours, ha your turn to read sir" she said pointing to a roadside stop. Jack turned in and they switched seats. Jack opened the book to the page she bookmarked and suddenly shut it.
"I'm not reading that while you're listening to my thoughts Carter" he stated
"Why not?" she teased
"It's a sex scene Carter! If I read that while you listen, you will…" he paused "assume things" he said glaring at her.
"It's not a sex scene sir" she laughed
"Really? What do you make of that?" he asked showing her an image
"Ok it's provocative but not a sex scene. Look sir, just skip the scene" she suggested
"What if we miss an important part of the plot?"
"We can always revert back to it" she shrugged "were entering salt lake city? I thought you said it took 7 hours?" she asked confused
"It's been 6 hours Carter, I wasn't that far off" he defended himself
"Ok, well where do I go from here?" she asked
"Farmington bay is on the far side of the city" he instructed
"Were going fishing now!" her jaw dropped
"Sunset's when the fish bite best" he grinned
"Sir?" she had a pleading look
"The boat I rented is on Farmington bay" he explained
"Boat?" she asked worried
"It's a house boat" he told her and she went to object but he cut her off
"Where do you want to go for dinner?" he asked grinning
"I'm not hungry" she replied taking a right turn
"For crying out loud, carter you have to eat!" he raised his voice and she sighed
"I can't eat, my body rejects everything I eat" she explained and Jack clenched his teeth
"The anti-biotic's aren't working" he scowled
"No they're working. It's probably just that my body can't handle the sudden extra nutrition, which doesn't surprise me considering how long I went with-out food" she reassured him
"Well order something with low calories Carter. Most women do" he joked but she heard he was serious and she heard he was worried.
