"Would you mind if I sat down?"
Carly Corinthos looked up from her tea into the eyes of Lorenzo Alcazar. "It's probably not a good idea." To be honest, she didn't mind at all if he sat with her. But they were in Kelly's where anyone could see them together, and she wanted to avoid any means of trouble with Sonny. There was enough tension between them as it was.
"I just need a minute, Carly."
She sighed deeply and motioned for him to sit down. She glanced at him briefly then cast her eyes downward into her cup. "What is it?"
Lorenzo watched her intensely. He wanted nothing more than to take that woman into his arms, and go away with her and never look back. He noticed that it seemed hard for her to look at him, and that put a small smile on his face. If she were to look into his eyes then she would have to face her feelings for him. "I really just want to know how you're doing."
She looked up at him then and shook her head slightly. "You know I'm doing fine. What you really want to know is what I'm feeling."
Lorenzo shrugged. "Would you like to tell me what it is that you're feeling?"
Carly leaned in across the table. "I know that I love Sonny-"
"But you don't feel it!" Lorenzo interrupted her, leaning in closer to her.
Carly stared at him hard. "I may not feel it right now, but I will."
"Why are you fighting so hard for this marriage if you don't feel any love? You feel it for me though. I can see it in your eyes. You love me, don't you Carly?"
Carly looked away from him and closed her eyes briefly. He was partially right. She did have feelings for him. She was so confused. She knew what her life was supposed to be like and who she was supposed to love, but she just didn't feel connected to that life anymore. She wanted to get it all back, she really did, but she just didn't know if that was going to happen. "Sonny is the father of my children. There's nothing you can do to change that."
Lorenzo leaned in even closer and took a hold of her hands. "Answer my question, Carly. Answer it truthfully, and then I'll go. Do you love me?" He spoke those last words slowly.
Carly looked at their intertwined hands and then into his eyes. She was trying so hard to fight it but in that moment she just couldn't. Her voice came out in a low, raspy whisper but loud enough for him to hear her. "Yes."
