Characters/People edit

- Carver Reed: The boy who stays at the Kaplan's house while on an internship at Dr. Kaplan's veterinary clinic. He was once a freckle-faced little boy who fed Natalie's pug chocolate, who she is hated ever since, but now he is a kind, smart hottie who she can't keep her eyes off of.
