"Oh Charlie, I'm so sorry," Amy cooed softly, caressing her friend's hair.
"I should have seen it coming, really," Charlotte mumbled as she looked at the picture in her hands. All sorts of emotions were jumbled up inside her right now. She sighed, "If he had just taken my advice..."
"Well, he was stubborn, you know that best of all," Amy said with a sad smile.
Charlotte put the picture back onto the desk, her eyes lingered on it longingly, "I know. One of the many things I loved about him," she shook her head in regret, "I took him for granted. I never should have let him get involved. We could have easily found somebody else, but... Oh, look at me, Amy. I even had to use the drug on him in order to keep him on my side. Gosh, I was a terrible fiancée, wasn't I?"
Amy's cat-like eyes shifted back to Charlotte, trying to figure out how her friend was feeling. The brown-eyed woman was still looking at the picture. Finally Amy softly asked, "Charlie, do you ever wonder if we're crazy?"
Charlotte broke her gaze from the picture, got up, and smoothed out the green dress she was wearing. Just before leaving the study, she smiled and said, "I don't wonder, Amy. I know."
The corner's of Amy's mouth curled up into a grin. She got up, following her friend to whatever mischief she was going to be up to.
On the desk, between the many letters, stacks of paper, and curiosities stood the picture which Charlotte had been looking at with so much desire and longing. The picture showed Arthur with a red face, and wide-eyed expression, and her grinning as she kissed his cheek.
Author's Note
This is it, then! It's finally over!
Before you all start hating Charlotte and Amy, remember: "A villain is just a victim whose story hasn't been told."
...but I'll leave their story for another time :)
