Marilyn just hoped Carter would understand.
She stood shakily, so nervous and utterly scared of what would have to be done that she couldn't hide it behind her usual mask of apathy. Her cheeks felt overheated and she was starting to sweat. When had it gotten so hot in this room? Her eyesight was blurring, as well. She blinked a few times before sitting back down. "I need out of this room, Rafe...It's too hot in here..."
At her words about a dozen fans appeared in the room, but Rafe needed to get out too. He opened the door,
"After you?"
Rafe held out his hand, but let it fall to the side. As much as he wanted to hold her hand and put his arm around her waist, he knew he couldn't...not yet. But in time he would, they could. He didn't want to rush her and make her feel uncomfortable. But more than anything, he just wanted her to be happy.
