A couple of days later – Carmen’s house
Carmen sat alone on the couch, a half-empty bottle of beer in her hands, Earl resting his head on her naked feet. She was meditative, she was feeling bittersweet and melancholic. The reason was simple.
She had realized, coolly and consciously, that she was in love with Shane and she was figuring out how not to.
Carmen would feel, deeply inside her soul, that Shane wasn’t human. She was definitely real, but she wasn’t human. She was even immortal. And Carmen…
“I will never be like that”, she murmured, staring at nothing.
Earl ducked his head to a side a watched her, blinking, but she didn’t notice it.
“I will never be like that, Shane. I may have the sense of touch, but I’ll never feel the things like you do. I’ll never be like you. How can we be together? We can’t. We just… can’t”, she whispered.
She didn’t know if Shane was there.
After that night, that stormy night when Carmen had felt her all around, inside and outside, slipping into every single cell of her being, Shane was gone. Again.
Carmen’s initial denial, Carmen’s intense struggle against a powerful feeling and against a reality
– Unreality. This is unreal –
that she was unable to accept of conceive, had made Shane step away for the second time.
