Why this must be read: Allison accidentally walks in on Kevin, um . . . during a private moment (if you know what I mean). Unfortunately for Allison, the only men in Kevin's life to talk to him about . . . um . . . his activities are Jack and Nathan, who are less than helpful:
“He told me to get out and close the door! Kevin’s never done that! He’s always been my sweet little boy!”
“You interrupted him! Can you think of anything worse than having your mother walk in, Carter?”
“Actually, I can,” Carter replied. “Try having your house offer to assist.”
Stark nodded slowly. “I see your point.”
I read this fic a while ago and, um, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that it's been on my mind since then.
Re-reading, though, I noticed a lot of funny lines that I missed the first time, like:
that discretion was the better part of survival
and
knew that if Allison saw his grin Henry would be picking up two bodies later that afternoon
I also liked the conversation between Jack and Allison on the porch after Allison has calmed down and can explain her reasons for panicking. I think, by adding this scene, the author prevented Allison from coming across like a hysterical woman, which would've been decidedly OOC.
