#Chapter30
What Now?
/"It's called trust. She's here for protection, and I'm showing her to a room so she can pull herself together…. nothing else. Don't assume you can tell me what to do, Carmen, that's not how this works./" There's an edge to his tone but as of yet, his dominant vibe is playing cool and humoring her a little. He's aware he could shut her down with that one tone, but he's not trying to. I think it's dawning on him that she's mad because she's insecure and I'm the very good reason to be so. I can't imagine what it's like to have the love of your life suddenly start to love another.
/"Trust!! Don't make me laugh. Where was that trust when you were inches from marking this little tramp? I wouldn't trust you with her, any day of the week. I meant nothing in that moment./" She blanches, thrusting words like knives at his face.
