Pagination Next/Previous linking to wrong page

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to implement pagination on some data and it works great.  The only issue is that the Next link goes to the 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!
