Abby started to thumb through the pages of her books looking for something to help her with a science project after she made sure to see that Carter was eating. She was waiting to hear his explanation of what was wrong with him but he wasn't talking about it. The pages stopped flipping and she pushed the book away and stared at Carter sternly. "Carter, speak. What's wrong?"
'It's gotta be worse than asking Grace to kiss him,' Abby thought to herself. That seemed like such an embarrassing situation as it was but if he was really letting something like that get to him, he had issues that Abby couldn't him with. "It's not like I'm going to judge you or anything." That sounded reassuring, right? If it was the kissing fiasco he needed to know that upfront, Abby assumed.
