He needed to make Marie see the situtation from a different angle, "OK, I can see why that would hurt, but the question is do you trust Carter? Do you think he would ever destory what you two have? Kay may be there with him in the flesh, but you will be there in his heart!" The boy was surprising himself, he had no idea where his words were coming from. Perhaps Lawson had charmed him at the feast; given him the ability to be a counsellor.
"And seriously, Marie, Kay has nothing on you!" the boy said with a smile, as a flash of dark flowing hair, made his eyes flick to the corridor outside their compartment.
Marie continued to look out the window as she listened to Patroclus talk. FINALLY someone understood WHY she was so upset.
Did she trust Carter? Of course she did.
"Yeah, I trust him" she said now looking back at Patroclus.
"I know he's friends with a LOT of girls and I'm okay with that but Kay is different." That was one girl she would never be okay with him being friends with.
"How would he feel if I did the same thing to him? If I asked Evan to go out of the country with me before I even told him what I was doing." Not that she
would do that but still, she knew he wouldn't like it at all.
She knew this probably wasn't easy on Patroclus but she was greatful to finally have someone who understood her.
"Thanks... for everything" she said. She still was NOT happy about the situation but it was nice to have someone who listened to her and didn't just tell her to forget about him.
Forgetting about Carter was NOT an option here.
