Footsteps
“ She was so angry she was shaking, and she couldn’t understand it or find a way to control it. What had just happened, what Carlo had done, what he’d made her feel…it was beautiful and astonishing, and nothing she’d ever known was possible, and she wanted to curl into him and stay there forever.
But she felt like she was about to break into thousands of brittle pieces. A need to rend, to punch, to scream was on her so hard that it took every ounce of will to stand still and quiet. The weight... of the comforter he’d laid over her shoulders and wrapped around her seemed to her to be the only thing keeping her intact.
He’d called her ‘baby,’ and she’d felt the word like a caress. He was worried, and she knew he thought he’d done something wrong, but she couldn’t ease his mind. She thought if she opened her mouth the only sound she could possibly make was a scream.
So much anger. Rage. Fury. Why? Her head spun and twisted, and she couldn’t understand. She needed to understand.MoreLess
