“You are what?”

“Set to wed upon my return home.” Hearing her confession caused Shane to pause and stare at her.

“You are to wed?!”

“I am, “she says while removing one of the boars hind legs then meets her gaze.

“Uh, well, “she says pausing to clear her throat, “Then congratulations are in order.”

“Gratitude, “she responds hearing the nonchalant tone in her voice. The once playful mood she was once held quickly subsided.

“Do you wish to know to whom?” Shane quickly rising to her feet gathers as much loose meat as her arms could carry.

“Come we must build a fire before the meat spoils, “she responds ignoring her.

“Shane!?” She continued to walk absent her regard. Carmen standing on her feet runs towards her finally cutting her off standing in front of her forcing her to stop.

“Why feel compelled to speak on such a matter!?”

“I do not know given our past I felt you had the right to know.” Shane at a loss for words walks around her and begins to make the fire without her. Taking a deep breath Carmen walks towards the boar collecting the rest of the meat when she returned Shane refused to make eye contact with her. Tara sensing something was wrong looks at them both.

“Someone care to fill me in?”

“There’s nothing to say, “Shane says with anger evident in her voice.

“Clearly, it is you return with sour mood what is the cause?”

“Tara still tongue.”

“Still tongue for simply asking a concerning question? I will not!”

“Tara—–.”

“Carmen what placed her in sour mood!?”

“I informed her upon my return home I am set——–.”

“Why not fucking see me informed sooner, “Shane yells.

“There was no need too!”

“And now you decide is perfect time!?”

“I told you as a courtesy.”

“Court—-Courtesy? Why see me informed at all!? I see not much has changed you still remain the conniving wench I’ve always known you to be!?” Both Tara and LaMiya was taken off guard by her sudden outburst, whatever was bothering her ate away at her. While Tara and LaMiya were taken off guard it was in no comparison to how Carmen was feeling. Revealing she was set to be married was not meant to anger her in fact it was the complete opposite she hoped she would be happy for her as she was of her and Molly. If she would have known her reaction would be so hostile she would have kept her impending marriage to herself. She did not know what to make of her reaction but the insults she hurled were hurtful and unwarranted.
