Chapter 114: Meeting Monsieur Caron Part 1

Carter sat in a chair, with his ankle resting on his thigh, as he waited in the lobby for Mr. Caron. He sighed as he sat and flicked his thumb along the screen of his phone, getting lost in more social media posts about him and Ariana.

There were too many and he was beyond annoyed at all of the hate they were spilling, more towards Ariana than him. He felt a pair of gentle hands land on the shoulders of his dark grey suit coat. Carter locked his phone and peered up at a bittersweet smiling Ariana as he slipped it into his pocket.

"Hi." Ariana leaned down onto his shoulder and stared at the woman at the front desk, who was busy looking through leather bound notebooks. "Think they're excited to know we're not together?"

"I think they're excited to hear that we are together. I'm about to break their hearts." Carter winked at her and heard her give a short laugh as she rolled her eyes and stood up straight, smacking his shoulder.
