She knocked on the doorframe of his office and peeked in to find it empty. She sighed and walked towards his bedroom. She pushed the door open as she heard heavy drops of water pattering on wet tile, signaling that he was in the shower.
Lucky ran up to Ariana from her bed and Ariana pet her behind her ears; before, she made her way into his bathroom.
"Hey! Hot shot!" Ariana shouted over the loud water and heard him slip. She cringed as she watched him catch himself on the wall with his palm.
"Welcome home." Carter cleared his throat as he ran his fingers through his wet hair, pretending to act cool.
