While Carol ultimately didn't prove as a big a help as Eric had hoped, it was still better than nothing and he appreciated that she tried. As soon as she complained about burning up he quickly backed away from her.[color=ed1c24] "Thanks for the help anyway and I'm sorry about your clothes."[/color]
