Chapitre 12: Her new home

The car took Sebastian and Carol straight to the airport, where they were to board the plane that would take them to where Sebastian lived, and Carol’s new home. The drive to the airport was a quiet one, with both of them lost in their thoughts. Carol did not speak because she was tired and just wanted the day to be over, while Sebastian really did not know what to say to her. In a way, he felt sorry for her and could not imagine how she must be feeling right now. It was clear that she was the pushover of the family if she let them prevail upon her to marry a stranger in the space of some hours. He could not say he had been exactly shocked to see her walk down the aisle instead of her sister as he had sort of expected the stunt that the sister pulled this morning. That one looked very stubborn and clearly had a mind of her own.
