It definitely seemed like Hope was using Carter to fill some kind of emotional void rather than genuinely wanting to be with him. Her words were brutal—telling him he’s a disappointment suggests she never really believed in him from the start. If she truly cared, she would’ve let him down with more compassion. This makes it look like she was just stringing him along until she found a reason to discard him. What do you think—was she being too harsh, or did Carter deserve it?
