Claiming Carina
“They're my closest friends, they won't judge or blame me like my university friends did.
Carina sat watching the campfire crackle and spit as she mentally warred with herself.
This camping trip she and her four best friends had embarked on was to reconnect with each other. They had all concluded that they didn't see each other often enough anymore, and a trip away together would be the perfect way to remedy the problem. Surely they'd listen to her troubles. They may even have some idea on how she could move on from it. Her mind decided that moment was the perfect time to inundate her with her memories of that horrid evening. Her body shuddered as she did everything she could to hold the memories down below the surface of her consciousness. She felt eyes on her and looked up in a panic to see who had caught her in her weakest moment. Eilagh.
"You know, Carina, you can tell us anything. There is no need to hide or be ashamed. We all love you. Please, let us help." Eilagh's quiet words c...ut straight through all the defensive walls Carina had built since the attack.MoreLess
