When Carrie went back upstairs she heard the dial tone on the phone. It seemed like Big had waited some time before he hang up.
Carrie took her jacket and meandered through the city.
She had lost Aiden, that was for sure, but did she want to get back together with Big? Did she love him? She didn't know the answer.
Two hours later she came back home. She still didn't know what to do.
Perhaps it would be best to do nothing for a while, to not let Big get back in her life completely.
Perhaps she would know what to do in a while.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps….
She saw she had a massage on her answering machine and listened to it.
"Hi, it's me. I'm so sorry for what happened. Really, I didn't want to do this. It just got beyond control. Please forgive me! I can't loose you again, Carrie! I love you! I can't life without you anymore. Please give me another chance. I learned out of my mistakes, really. Please believe me. I will come over later, please think about what you want. If you don't let me in and don't want to talk to me, I'll leave you alone for not causing you anymore pain - forever."
