Ouroboros Spine Can't Take My Eyes Off You

have i mentioned cara is a bitch..? sorry ;_; she (we) love you tho

The tears were not the hardest things she had to hold back.
There were insults, words laced with venom, simply forming in the back of her throat, tickling the roof of her mouth like foam while they pleaded to be thrown out at him like daggers. 
But like the tears that welled up in the corner of her pastel eyes, she kept those words under lock and key -- unspoken, but not forgotten. Desertion was, like defiance, something Cara could not cope with easily.
Having struggled in a broken family, after her mother's early voyage to her grave and her father's unexpected illness, Cara had to face the abandonment, the neglect, of her older sisters -- which only ended once her father became a cold corpse.
Since then, her journey through life, through the path of trust towards others had been like a path of broken glass.
She always got cut.
And though the small fissure he had inflicted upon her with his first departure had long ago clotted and stopped its bleeding, it was useless to say it did not sting --specially when he poured himself to her like that.

The questions he presented to her were seemingly rhetorical as well, even if they were truly the very same ones she had wanted so desperately to have an answer to, she let them pass with her lips tightly sealed. Avoiding the acidic word vomit that rose at the back of her mouth was her main focus at the moment. 
"What do you want from me then, Keith?!" she urged her delicate ears swinging furiously upon her head and falling flat against her skull as her teeth clattered, "I want to understand you -- but I cannot trust you so blindly" she went on, her voice coming out as a mournful whine that pleaded him to understand that standing on her side wasn't any easier. 

"Tell me" she then demanded with an exasperated gasp. 
Even if the sole act of hearing out his dire accusations against her own felt like an insulting thing to the Queen's prideful heart, she could not deprive him of the opportunity to fight his case.
His very last opportunity.
