Silence
And they escaped the emptiness, directly into the hands of evil.
The examination, which was inevitable, was mere torture. Cold hands touched her with even colder instruments. Even though she had attended a lot of examinations, never had she expected to be the one, sitting here on a chair defenceless, motionless –teeth clenched, and counting the seconds that passed.
Sara stood behind the curtain, where Catherine was staring at. Almost violently their hands had been unclasped. Hardly any word had been spoken, nor were tears shed. The only thing Sara wanted was to hold the blonde's hand again.
They silently decided to go to Catherine's house, to inform Lindsey. Therefore they called for a taxi. Sara was seated on one side, Catherine on the other –both staring out off the window –holding hands. Catherine opened the door, looking for her daughter –she had completely forgotten Lindsey wasn't even at home. Tomorrow would be Saturday, and her daughter was spending the night at a friend's place.
She walked to the bathroom –still holding onto Sara's hand. For the first time after their kiss she looked into Sara's eyes.
"Do you want me to leave?" Sara asked, hoping she Catherine would rather want her to stay.
Catherine let go of her hand, and started to undress –her eyes never leaving Sara's. She opened the faucet and stepped under the stream. There, she lowered herself onto the ground and started to cry. Sara quickly undressed, entered the shower cubicle, and pulled Catherine onto her feet, starting to wash the blonde's body.
Catherine left the shower, dried herself and left, wearing her white robe, without saying a word or looking at Sara. The brunette quickly slipped into her clothes again, and went in search for Catherine. The blonde woman lay on her bed –with enough space for two, her back towards the brunette. Sara lay down next to her, and Catherine immediately searched for her hand.
And they escaped the evil, directly into the hands of emptiness.
