"What do you mean? He's not Mr. Right?" Carrot asked in wonder. "That's
right. He's more like Mr. Right now." Tira answered, looking back down at her ring,
examining every crevice.
Carrot inspected Tira's features. Her rose-colored lips were pressed together
tightly, her eyebrows knotted up as if there was something on her mind. "Tira-" he
began, but Shiranu interrupted. "Come, Tira. It's time to go." Tira looked up at her
fiancé and then back at Carrot. "Bye." She said in farewell, and took Shiranu's arm.
'I feel so hurt, as if I'm...jealous.' Carrot thought. No, he couldn't be
jealous...could he? He had never thought of Tira that way, just as a sister. Yes, a sister.
Carrot looked at the unconscious Chocolate leaning on his shoulder. He moved
some of her hair from her face. She breathed so easily, looked so innocent when she was
sleeping. He liked her this way.
Marron had stayed with Big Mama to discuss some unknown magic business, and
was to take a later bus home. Carrot took the 10:30 bus to drop Chocolate off, and all he
could think of was Tira and how he wanted vengeance, a chance to show her he didn't
care she was getting married.
As the bus screeched to a halt, Chocolate stirred. "Hmm? Where are we?" she
asked groggily. "Shhh." Carrot hushed, helping Chocolate walk the stone pathway to her
small blue house. The moon cast a soft light that complimented Chocolate's delicate
features.
Chocolate was pretty much awake by the time they reached her room. "Oh,
darling!" Chocolate exclaimed, still in a tired state. "I never thought I'd get you in my
room!" she giggled. Without thinking, Carrot silenced her with a kiss on her moving lips.
Her blue eyes widened in shock. "But Darling, I don't-" she began. She was interrupted
again with Carrot's lips upon hers.
It was not until next morning that he departed for his own house.
