She's curled up in a kitten ball on the small bed. Only the side lamp provides a minimal yellow glow to the room. I'm fascinated by the stuffed animals and doodads on shelves, reminding me that Carina was still a girl just a few short years ago. I'd like to tour the space more closely and get to know her, but her current mood is my priority.
“Carina, my darling.”
My voice makes her startle and she scootches up the bed until she's sitting with her back against the headboard, staring at me with her huge baby blues. I almost come undone at the fold between her bare thighs and her pink underwear but I need to know what's got her in this state.
“Are we talking like adults here or going back in the past?” I say.
“Funny you should say that,” she whimpers. I can hear tears threatening in her voice.
“You can tell me what it is or we can play obtuse games.” I have to be firm, but soft enough to make her unwind.
“I can't believe you'd betray me like that,” she mewls, her lower lip wobbly.
I peer at her wondering if she's high.
Is she talking about the women Mellie set me up with? Because it's easy enough to fix that problem by coming clean with our relationship and letting the entire fucking world know we're meant to be together and there can never be anyone else.
