You had sex with Carol. I forgot to clarify this for Vortexia. Whoops.]

You don’t know what you’re more surprised about, that it was really good, or that you can last this long. This feels crass to point out, so you’ll stop. Your three night stand is over. You had to clean up everything yourself because Carol refused to cooperate! She went straight to the shower and ignored you for the most part! No cuddling, no cute moments of chatting, nothing! This is the last clean sheet in this room by the way…
“Carol, you’re finally out, I–” You try to say something as soon as she’s out of the bathroom, but she interrupts you.
“Keep it to yourself, I’m leaving.” Carol doesn’t want to spend more time here. “I don’t care if you tell anyone, nobody is going to believe you, and those who will will want to slash your throat. My advice? Never open your mouth.”
“We’re not done though.” You’re not letting her go just yet.
“I didn’t hate it, okay? I can *feel* you’re worried. You can act all mad at me, but I know you’re a softie. You’re no different than Vivi, hell, you two are way too transparent for my liking.” Carol reassures. “Am I sounding too harsh? Get used to it, because this isn’t the end of us. I’m not ghosting you like a coward. We took the cult down together, I don’t want you across the lane as my enemy.”
“Sorry, you can’t anticipate everything I’ve got to say.” You shake your head. “Can I speak now?”
“What do you want then?” Carol looks away, half blushing.
You may want to work things out with Carol for the sake of your imaginary son…
>>What do you do?>A little late, and not the best time, but declare idol war! The time has arrived.>“Did you have fun?” Smile. Keep it simple. See how she reacts. There’s no need for more animosity.>“Do you have feelings for me?” You feel like you two sparked a connection that wasn’t there before.>“I know things don’t have to be this way. Can I help you amend things with the others?” Offer to help Carol through a character arc, maybe she can grow into a better person. >“Did you forget why we met today? We’re not done, we’re just getting started!” You have many topics to discuss, she can’t leave. Drag her to the others!>Write In.(Only Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
