"I said that my time has come." Carina calmly repeated the words. She lifted her hands, making the quote and unquoted gestures. "The ending of my life is just around the corner."
A bolt of thunder seemed to strike Sofia as she stared unbelievably at Carina. She was speechless at her revelation. Did she mishear it?
Seeing Sofia's dumbfounded face, Carina patted her cheek to make her soul come back to reality.
"What? Could you repeat it?" Sofia blinked her eyes, her head tilted awkwardly as her round eyes stared at Carina in disbelief. She could barely hold back the snort that bubbled at the back of her throat. "I seemed to mishear your words?"
Carina smiled bitterly. The confusion with a trace of anxiety on Sofia's mien caused herself unhappiness and malaise. She tiredly leaned her back on the backrest as her eyes profoundly gazed at the darkness of the night sky above them.
