Carver had wanted so badly to go with him. It wasn't possible, though. And asking would have prompted questions neither of them could have answered.
"He's okay," Carver adds, a little softer. "Mostly. He almost lost an eye. And he was close with the pilot, they called her Junebug on the coms. I liked her."
