@PunishingCastIe Karen gave him a wink with that final statement and turned, walking along the Hudson as she made her way back to the office.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe She smiles soft, tipping her head to him as she says, “Same, Frank. Very much the same. Keep that card.” She grinned, slowly backing away.. “never know when you need it.” ~

[ִֶָ @reliquiescare]

i am no good nor evil, simply i am.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

Covering her eyes, she turns away.

“You heal well.”

[Frank. @PunishingCastIe]

Bruises are healing nicely.

Good. Just in time for new ones, no doubt.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe she cried, “it was too late.”

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

..I’m not sure I even know what 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚 even means.

[Literarium @Literarium12]

I only want people in my life that make me feel safe. Safe to talk , safe to share, and safe t0 be myself.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe Grabbing the mug, she finished the last of the whiskey as she allowed her mind to relive the moment.. “He was crushed. I… uh.. I remember lights and losing control after fighting with him..then I just remember waking up and crawling out. When I tried to save him..”~

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe “Long story short, I shot him in the shoulder and rushed my brother out. We were arguing as I was driving and next thing I know I’m waking up to Kevin..” she cried, inhaling sharp.. “dead. I didn’t even see it. I don’t remember how..”

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe “I have.. had this guy I was seeing.” She said, taking a gulp. Squeezing his hand as she spoke. “We were into some shit. Shit my brother tried to stop me from getting into and..” it was too much. ~

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe “..It’s all my fault.” She cried. “I’m so fucking stupid, Frank. How could I have done this?”

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe She shook her head, her lashes flickering as she tried to make sense of it all. “I was driving. We had this stupid fucking fight…” the sound of a trigger.. a shot flashed in her mind followed by the ambulance lights and the taking of her brother’s lifeless body..~

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe She steps closer, standing before him as he relaxes back on the bench. “I better get back. Can’t have the boys frantic without me there keeping shit in line, ya know?”

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe With her hands tucked into her pockets, Karen pulls a card out. Gesturing it over to him. “Don’t say I never gave you anything.” She joked. Laughing soft as she stood up on her feet. ~

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe “I killed my brother.” She said, her tone cold. Her face withered. She lifted her fingers to her face to wipe away the tears. She didn’t deserve love or comfort. Everything she ever loved was gone and that was her doing.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe Karen’s tear filled eyes felt the comfort in Franks hold of her hand. Softening her a bit. Reminding her of what’s real. But in a pull.. she let go. Lowering both her hands to her sides and sitting up to face him. ~

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe Karen chucked, “Yeah.. the lawyer guys.” She replied. Side eyeing him as she continued.. “Not your typical firm. We focus on the people, the cause. Makes it easier to go to work each day if I’m honest.”

[ִֶָ @reliquiescare]

i'd hold the gun if you asked me to.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe She laughed, shaking her head as she looked over to him with a grin, “No. I don’t work in a skyscraper. It’s actually a small building in Hell’s Kitchen. At Nelson and Murdock.” Karen shrugged in thought of just how non-boring her job actually was.. “it’s really not so bad.”

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe And so, rather than speaking she stood silent. Taking deep breaths till she could find her voice.

[𝑲𝒶𝓇ℯ𝓃 @_Pagefrommybook]

@PunishingCastIe Karen didn’t even realize her hand was shaking until Frank took it in his.. she looked up at him through her lashes. Her voice shaky, “I..” she couldn’t say it. The words just couldn’t form. ~
