Therapy reviews
If the worst were to happen to Carter in the upcoming storyline… For the record, I do not want this to happen. I want Carla and Peter to be happy together forever and for the mechanic to keep her mitts off Peter. But, having said that, I could not resist writing this as a 'what if' and hope you enjoy it for what it is, a mere daydream.
