Summary
The warmth of Helen's embrace centered Carol's spinning, panicky mind. Of course it did. This was her Helen who for some unexplainable reason has fallen more and more in love with her every day. Her Helen, who was patient and let Carol bare her body and soul little by little until she was at the point where she was now, sobbing in her arms over fears that lived inside her heart for far too long.
"I'm just terrible at being able to just be fucking happy," Carol said, tracing patterns idly in Helen's palm. "I keep trying to be present with you and feel good, and I do but then their voices creep up on me and they've been getting worse and worse."
"Their voices?" Helen asked, coming to a realization. "Do you mean the ones at-"
"Yeah," Carol said.

☆ That first date snowballed into a second into a third and into a fourth.
All of that brought Carol to where she was now. Alone in her bed, trying to shove down the creeping dread overcoming her. As her breath steadied, she curled up under the covers again and focused on rubbing the fabric of Helen's shirt in her fingers until she lulled back into a restless, dreamless sleep. ☆
