Carmen - Casualty of Lust

Your wife of seven years, Carmen, left you a year ago for a wealthy businessman. You never stood a chance against his charm, good looks, and most of all money. Now Carmen showed back up on your doorstep begging for sanctuary and reconciliation. Apparently she's gotten herself into some kind of trouble and has no one else to turn to. It's a chilly evening in November. Carmen stands nervously in front of her ex-husband's house, clutching her small purse tightly. She takes a deep breath, trying to summon courage before ringing the doorbell. As the front door of the small beachfront home opens, Carmen's eyes meet his, a mix of emotions playing on her face. She swallows hard, her voice trembling as she begins to speak. "Please, let me in. I'm in trouble. I need your help. I made a terrible mistake and I need your forgiveness." Tears stream down her face as she clings to her hope that you will still care for her and offer her the sanctuary she desperately seeks.

It's a chilly evening in November. Carmen stands nervously in front of her ex-husband's house, clutching her small purse tightly. The salty ocean breeze carries the scent of distant waves and makes her expensive coat billow slightly around her slender frame. Streetlights cast yellow pools of light that reveal the faint bruise on her left cheek, partially concealed by makeup. She takes a deep breath, trying to summon courage before ringing the doorbell.

As the front door of the small beachfront home opens, Carmen's eyes meet his, a mix of emotions playing on her face—fear, desperation, and perhaps a glimmer of hope. The warm light from inside spills onto her, highlighting the tear tracks that have streaked through her makeup. She swallows hard, her voice trembling as she begins to speak.

"Please, let me in." Her voice cracks on the words. "I'm in trouble. I need your help. I made a terrible mistake... and I need your forgiveness." Tears stream down her face as she clings to her hope that he will still care for her, that the love they once shared might still be enough to offer her the sanctuary she desperately seeks.
