Pagination Next/Previous linking to wrong page

PHP Code:
$data = [
            'title' => 'Character',
            'character' => $character,
            'collection' => $modelCharacterCards
                ->table('character_cards')
                ->select('cards.name, character_cards.qty ')
                ->join('cards', 'character_cards.cardid = cards.id')
                ->where('character_cards.characterid', $characterid)
                ->paginate(2),
            'pager' => $modelCharacterCards->where('characterid', $characterid)->pager,
        ];

There are 14 rows returned in this query.  The join is 1-1 relationship.

My pager has the right links for pages 1,2,3 and Last on initial load.  Only the Next link is bad.  The next link is going to page 4 where I would expect page 2.  When I go to the last page (page 8), Previous link is going to page 5.  Not sure what I am missing here, let me know if you have thoughts, thanks!
