One Hundred-Thirteen

*** KAREN'S FLASHBACK CONT' ***

"Don't fall asleep, sweetheart. It's getting late. We should head back into the village..."

I sigh as I come back to reality. Realising what I had just done, I sit up, pulling my dress up to cover my breasts once more. I then pull the thin straps of my dress back onto my shoulders. I look over at him with tears stinging my eyes and whisper,

"I guess you are going to leave now..."

He stops what he is doing and looks at me with surprise. "Karen, what do you mean?"

"You're a newcomer and once a newcomer gets what they want, they leave... Soo! You will leave now..."

Wes moves and places his hand on my cheek, using his thumb to wipe away the tears that managed to escape
