Countess
White listened keenly to Maude and Paine
As they
spoke about Claude and Blaine
About their
own lives and their profession
And how one
little carnal session
Led to their
newfound love and obsession
“So, that’s
how we ended up coming this way,” said Maude when they’d finished what they had
to say.
“That’s
quite a story,” remarked the countess. “But it seems to me that not all is
hunky dory.”
“And why
would that be?” asked Maude. “All seems fine to me.”
“Yes,
Countess,” said Paine. “Would you care to explain?”
“The love
you have for one another. To me it seems like it was created by some other. You
may think that this is how you feel, but I’m almost positive that the feeling
isn’t real. When you spoke of your love it sounded prepared and there was a
tremor in your voices as if you were scared.”
“Well, I can
assure you that all is well,” said Maude agitatedly. “When Paine and I made
love, it was in love that I fell.”
“And love
for Maude is what I feel!” cried Paine anxiously. “How can you say that it
isn’t real?”
“Listen to
your voices, hear that quiver!” exclaimed White. “Look at yourselves, look how
you shiver! These are indications that all is not well. My darlings, it seems
to me like you’re both under a spell.’
“Sweet Lilly
White, it can’t be right!” yelled Maude. “You should be contrite!”
“If it’s to
keep us together, then I don’t care,” said Paine. “For what we have is really
quite rare.’
“Spells can
last a long time, but never for ever,” said White. “And the pain will be
greater if soon you don’t sever.”
“We will
never sever!” cried Maude. “We are together forever. I’ll do anything to save
our romance. Even if it is a spell, I’ll take that chance.”
“Do you
really want to live your life being controlled, knowing that someone else has
that hold?”
“Sweet Lilly
White, how do we solve our plight?” asked Paine. “I have no knowledge of spells
or how to break. Is there a way it can be done without causing heartache?”
“It can be
broken, that I can guarantee. But as for your relationship, we will have to
wait and see. If I can get help, will you both agree?”
Paine nodded
her head with a feeling of dread
Confronted
with a decision that she may rue
Maude
reluctantly nodded hers too
“Good,” said
Countess White. “Tomorrow my nephew will be back. For situations like these he
has a knack. I’m sure you will like Viscount Drac.”
