"For the first time in your life, you've done a good job Tommy", Sophia praised Thomas with a pleasant smile. Thomas couldn't even look her in the eye. He felt rage and humiliation running
through his veins. He had deceived his beloved Canny and drugged her. For what? Freedom. From the demon Carina called 'Mother'. She had agreed immediately. Finally, Thomas was a free bird. He could fly away anywhere. He could paint all day every day. He would never have to hear venomous words and insults just because he spilled some wine. Yet he felt like crying.
Carina laid on her bed in a dreamless sleep. The doctor had informed she was going to stay that way till sunrise. Thomas sneaked into her room, tears brimming in his beautiful eyes. She looked so pale and fragile in that state. He was the cause of this. Surely, Carina would have to go through hell after she woke up. Thomas truly hated himself.
He cautiously brushed away brown locks from her little face. She somehow looked beautiful than ever. Thomas inaudibly sobbed. He had no choice now. He was going to leave her and let the demon tear her into pieces. "I love you", he finally confessed. She couldn't hear him. So he let it all out. " I love you so much. It hurts whenever I see you. I want to touch you. I want to caress your little cheeks and take you somewhere far away. Away from your demonous mother." He inhaled deeply, "I think you'll hate me for the rest of your life. And I want it to stay that way. But Canny, these four walls and this night will always know my love for you. And I will too."
He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. At sunrise, Carina opened her eyes.
