Carmen felt destined to fight for other people’s lives, while nobody would fight for her.
“Nobody. I’m alone”, she thought.
Somebody knocked on the massive front door and Earl’s head snapped up, his ears straightened. He licked his snout and yelped, wiggling his tail.
Carmen frowned, getting rid of the blanked that was covering her legs and stood up. She placed the book on the couch and headed to the door.
It was probably Helena.
But Earl would never give her such and enthusiastic welcome.
Carmen opened the door slowly, her heart beating faster and faster, and when Shane smiled tiredly at her, she stayed still, mouth agape.
Shane’s forearm was resting against the door frame. Her head was slightly bowed, her soaking wet hair covered her forehead and eyes. She looked up, her face pale and bruised, and managed to gather a smile.
“Am I too late?”, she murmured quietly, huskily.
Carmen was still staring at her, her eyes wide open.
“Too late?”, she breathed out in confusion.
Shane sighed. Her whole body looked about to break, her clothes were ripped and crumpled and drenched and dirty.
“Helena?”, Shane whispered, watching Carmen with her green, green eyes.
As usual, Carmen couldn’t look away when Shane stared at her like that. Even now, in her worst physical conditions, she was still able to put her under her spell.
“I couldn’t marry Helena”, Carmen confessed, quietly, “I’m in love with you”.
Shane chuckled, silently, and tried to move a step. But she staggered and her knees threatened to give in.
Carmen caught her mid-air and held her up. She sneaked Shane’s arm around her own shoulder and walked her through the doorway.
Shane was shaking, and her skin was feverishly hot. Too pale, too hot, too anything.
Carmen swallowed, guiding Shane toward the couch and making her sit there. She kneeled down between her parted knees, grabbed the blanket and dried up her face.
Shane watched her, her eyes full of gratitude and love, and Carmen’s chin trembled. She had never felt so overwhelmed before.
“What happened?”, Carmen whispered.
“Free will”, Shane said, quietly, ducking her head to a side.
Carmen shook her head, crying and laughing all together, and cupped Shane’s face with both her hands. Shane jerked at the contact, then relaxed, pressing her palm against Carmen’s hand.
