“I do not.”

“Then why speak such things suggesting otherwise?”

“Listen, I’ve known Shane for many years long before you two ever crossed paths her reaction to hearing you are set to wed means she still desires you.”

“I—I don’t under—–.”

“Trust me even after all these years she still desires you greatly, “she says before kicking her horse into a full gallop hoping to catch up with Shane. As her horse hoofs pounded away at the ground within a matter of seconds she found herself riding side by side with her. She knew Shane could see her because she could see her after a few minutes of Shane not acknowledging her she spoke.

“I know you see me.”

“Yeah, I see you, “she says in a dry tone.

“If I didn’t speak you were just going to ignore me?”

“Yes.”

“Why I’m not the one promised to wed?” Her response caused Shane to stare at her coldly.

“I’m in no mood.”

“Clearly that’s obvious how long do you expect to ignore Carmen?”

“For as long as it takes.”

“That’s a very childish response don’t you agree?”

“What will you have me do engage in conversation as if everything is normal?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it is as it should be, “she says taking a breath before continuing to speak, “Tell me the true cause of your anger?”

“As I stated earlier I am in no mood.”

“Well I beg to——-.”

“This entire time she has spoken with untruthful tongue, “she says cutting her off, “She should have seen me informed while at Nephelé.”

“And why? Her personal position is not your concern similar to how yours is no longer hers.”

“Still she should have seen me informed!” Reaching out she grabs her shoulder forcing her to come to a halt.

“I know I jest with you before as I know a physical attraction still remains but apparently it runs much deeper.”

“It does not.”

“It does.”

“It does not.”

“Yes…..it does.”

“No, it does—-since you know all things give reason!?”

“Simple, many years ago Carmen wanted to wed and have children you did not neither one of you were willing to coincide with the other and it was decided it was best you part ways. Now, she has found all that she desires with another woman yet you pout like a young child throwing a tantrum all because for the first time in your life you cannot have want you desire.”
