For Carrie
He didn't quite know where to look for her. Or, rather, Calvin knew where she should be, but Carrie didn't seem to be in any of the places he looked for her.
It was the day after Meg, after he'd promised to do right by her. He wanted to do right by Carrie too, though he hadn't worked out h ow to do that yet. Just had to tell her first, explain it out.
God, but he had a terrible pit in his stomach about the whole thing.
After walking the beach some looking for her, he headed back toward the Compound. Maybe she'd been hanging about an' he hadn't seen her.
