    Summary

    It happens fast. Like the beat of a hummingbird’s wings which move so rapidly you can hardly see them, but your mind knows they must be there. Knows that the blur of colour, and the rush of wind, and the little body suspended in time all mean something. They coalesce in your mind to tell you that there must be wings. Even if you can’t see them.

    She raises her hand. His head turns. There is a crack like thunder.

    Summary

    Carter comes from a wealthy family, that much is true. Materialistically, he has never truly lacked anything. But appearances can be deceiving. Very deceiving.

    What could be hiding behind Carter's smiles, his clumsiness, his goofy exterior, his cheerful mood and his neverending optimism?

    And who will notice the shadows lurking beneath?

    Susan slowly made her way to the central station, looking for her next case, but her mind was still somewhere in the distance. She turned to look at the pair of them, happily chatting as Carter cleaned, disinfected and stitched the wound his former nanny had sustained.

    But she couldn't unhear it. She couldn't forget Rose's tone and her words, and everything they implied. And she didn't know what to do with it, or where to put it.

    She watched Carter, saw his smiles, his ‘all-in’ persona, and his cheerful demeanor and she wondered how far and how deep the abyss beneath it went.
