Carrie Thomas turned off her computer and walked out of the study with her heart pounding, cautiously and slowly approaching Harrison Clark's bedroom door.
The door was not locked.
Carrie only cracked it open slightly.
Her heart raced as if she were beating a drum.
The house was quiet, with no sound to be heard.
After standing outside the door for about five seconds, Carrie cautiously closed the door and went to the guest room with her racing heartbeat.
Harrison had flown directly from his home country to Carlisle and did not sleep well on the plane, so he needed a good rest.
As a seasoned soldier, Harrison's personal alertness was unsurpassed. However, once he realized it was Carrie outside, he let down his guard and didn't pay too much attention.
He guessed that Carrie might have some thoughts after seeing the two songs and wanted to talk to him, or that she wanted to write a new song.
But after waiting five seconds, Carrie closed the door and left.
