Nancy K. Duplechain - Dark Trilogy 02 - Dark Carnival - Plot & Excerpts
She assured me it was no problem at all. She looked gloomy and asked me three times if I’d please change my mind and stay to finish my training. I finally convinced her that I couldn’t after everything that happened. She understood and sent me on my way, back to Acadiana. When I got back to Clothilde’s house, it was a little after 5:00 P.M. Lyla was home from school by then. I had wanted to arrive before Lyla so that I could talk to Clothilde alone. It was probably best that Lyla was there because, given my anger, an argument would have ensued. When Lyla saw me, she lit up, ran to me, threw her arms around me and squeezed with everything she had. “Good to see you, too, kiddo!” I exhaled, dropping my bags onto the floor in the living room. I could see Clothilde in the kitchen, stirring a big pot of what smelled like vegetable soup. “Maison bienvenue,” she said, not looking up from the pot. “Hey,” I replied. I could hear the forced happiness in my voice.
