"stop that, will you. and lower your voice, Lottie. we may not know if there are people on my Dad's side hears us. i'd be dead if---" she wasn't able to finish her sentence when Lottie stop her.
"hep! good. whew. i know Alastaire. for the nth time, I KNOW. okay?" she said, and motion her to continue walking. their destination is in the Municipal Hall which is just a half an hour walk from their dorm. the weather was fit for a walk so they didn't board a PUJ or a taxi.
"but how long are you going to hide, Alas? you can't run away forever, my friend. a time will come that it will really come out of you. and Darlene? no matter how much you deny it, i knew that you love her." Lottie said.

"even if i want to, you knew i can't, Carlotta. i just can't.." she said, and let go of a controlled sob. Lottie hug her.
