• Carter was the one who took my hand and shook it. I was honestly kind of scared to look him in the eye, but I wanted to be direct. The goal was still to be impressive and leave a lasting impression. I could have sworn when he touched me, it was like a jolt of electricity going right through me. It was almost exhilarating. He smiled at me, and I felt as shy as ever, though shy was not my personality. Who was this guy?
• " My name is Carter Moonstone. This is my partner, Seth Lightwood", he explained. We didn't even realize we were still shaking each other's hands. It was like neither of us wanted to pull away.
