Pairing: Bob/Caroline
Word Count: 50

As Benton marched, stiff-necked, down the hall and his father, just as stiff-necked (metaphorically if not literally) made the ninety-degrees-to-everything turn into the Borderlands, she swore that when she was able to touch Bob again she was going to tear him a new one, first thing.

Well…second thing.

…Third.

Ok, that makes it official. I beg the fandom hereby to write me a Story in witch Carolines ghost came back ASAP after the deadly shooting.
Sure, it isn’t so nice if you cant smell your Mommy and she isn't warm but she would be there. He wouldn't have to be lonely and with Caroline around Bob would visit more often. Hm, Bobs Parents can't see Caroline, that would be tricky...
So, PLEASE!! everyone, would please someone write a Ghost!Caroline hoisting little Ben Story?

@Laughing Academy: Sorry, I had to say this. Now to your shorty:
Its sad in a funny way. And Caroline has to wear a cross with this two. Wish we could have seen the Caroline / Bob argument after CotW. There is enough stuff to give him hell for years!
Nice little fic. Thanks. :-)

“Sad in a funny way” — thanks, that’s what I was aiming for. I’ve always imagined that shortly after Bob and Caroline disappear from Benton’s sight, she gave him a big kiss and then clouted him but good.

This is a really elegant little piece of writing. A lot of story in very few words.

*memories*

Thanks!

“Elegant”! That’s possibly the nicest thing anyone has said about my fic to date. Thanks!
