"Share with me the blankets that your wrapped in
Because its cold outside... its cold outside.
Share with me the secrets that you kept in
Because its cold inside.... its cold inside."

As soon as they walked out of the front door, the two singers were enveloped in a cloud of smoke.
"So much for fresh air," Carrie said softly.
Kelly frowned at the sound of the country singer coughing as she looked around at the people smoking, "Seriously?"
"Don't worry about it," Carrie soothed.
"No," Kelly shook her head. "We're at an event for children with cancer and y'all are going to smoke? What kind of logic is that?"
"Kell..." Carrie urged. "I think I need to sit for a sec."
Kelly looked at her worriedly, "You ok? How bout we go for a ride?"
Carrie nodded, allowing Kelly to guide her through the small crowd and to the street where the carriage was already waiting. Kelly helped her into it before climbing in herself.
"Where to?" the driver asked politely.
"Wherever," Kelly replied. "Just take it slow."
"Sure thing," he nodded, tapping the reigns lightly.
"You ok?" Kelly asked again, turning to Carrie, watching as a breeze blew through her hair and goosebumps raised up her arms.
Carrie nodded, linking their hands together.
"Excuse me," Kelly said, getting the driver's attention. "Do you have like a blanket or something?"
"Yes ma'am," he replied sweetly, reaching beneath where he was seated and pulling out a large blanket, handing it over his shoulder to her.
"Thank you," Kelly nodded, wrapping it around the country singer's shoulders.
Carrie smiled softly at her.
"Better?" Kelly asked, studying her face carefully.
"Yea."
"Good," Kelly breathed, turning back to face the front, closing her eyes, all of the events of the evening thus far, settling down heavily on her.
Carrie wrapped her arm around the Texan, pulling her closer and sharing the blanket. Kelly rested her head on her shoulder, happy for the company as Carrie kissed the top of her head before resting her cheek there, holding her close by her side with both arms.
"What's on your mind?" she asked, her voice still shaky.
"Nothing you need to be worrying about right now," Kelly replied.
"Then what should I be worrying about?"
"You should be worried about you feeling better."
"I'm already starting to," Carrie assured her, taking another breath of the cool night air, letting it settle deep in her chest.
"Good."
"Kelly."
"I'm fine."
"No you're not," Carrie sighed, kissing the top of her head once more.
Kelly looked up at her, their faces close together.
"What's up?" Carrie asked softly, moving the Texan's hair out of her eyes and tucking it behind her ear.
Kelly looked at her with the slightest hint of desperation in her eyes. She wanted so badly to tell her everything that was going through her mind after all that had happened and all she had found out, but even if she did trust her enough to open up, she couldn't even begin to figure how to put it all into words.
Carrie watched as the gaze changed from desperate to apologetic, and she felt her heart melt.
"It's ok," she promised gently.
"Are you sure you're feeling ok?"
"Yea," Carrie nodded. "You take good care of me."
She noted Kelly's disbelieving look and took the shorter girl's hand, bringing it to her cheek. "Feel."
Kelly relaxed at the feeling of Carrie's skin a normal temperature under her touch. She rubbed her thumb gently against Carrie's cheek, suddenly feeling very small in her embrace.
"She's pregnant," Kelly said softly, the slightest hint of confusion in her voice.
"I know," Carrie frowned.
"How could he do this to her?"
Carrie wanted to laugh. Of course Kelly would be worrying about the other girl's feelings. In fact, Carrie probably would've laughed if it weren't for the other blonde looking so completely lost at that moment.
"And then he still had the nerve to ask if I wanted to be with him tonight."
"He what?!"
"I just...I just want this all to be over with," Kelly admitted, her eyes stinging with tears. "I just want to be able to be happy again...with who I am."
"Kelly, you are a great person," Carrie said firmly, leaning slightly into her touch as Kelly's hand remained on her cheek.
"No I'm not," she shook her head as silent tears started to fall. "I haven't even come close."
"What can I do to make you smile right now?" Carrie asked, tilting Kelly's head up so that she was looking at her. "Cause you know I'd do anything."
Kelly's hand fell to the side of Carrie's neck as she closed her eyes tightly, the tears falling harder. Carrie frowned, moving her hand to the back of the Texan's head, gently pulling her forward and kissing her forehead firmly, holding her there, her lips against Kelly's skin as she heard her let out a quiet sob.
Carrie didn't even want to think about what was going on in Kelly's head because knowing her, she was completely tearing herself apart right now about everything that had happened.

"Invitation only
Grand Farewells
Crush the best one
Of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed
Too early to say goodnight."

Carrie felt Kelly shiver in her arms, and she wrapped the blanket around them tighter as Kelly's phone started to ring.
"It's Ashley," she said before answering it. "Hey...no we're fine...yea, she's feeling better...I'm ok...I don't know Ash...I'll ask, but she really probably shouldn't...alright...if not, I'll call you, ok?...alright, bye."
"I really probably shouldn't what?" Carrie asked as Kelly hung up the phone.
"Ashley and Jason are leaving the dinner, and they have Ann with them, and they wanted to know if we wanted to meet up with them at a bar they're going to."
"Why can't I go?"
"Because you were seriously sick not too long ago," Kelly reminded.
"But I'm feeling better."
Kelly eyed her, unconvinced.
"Look, I probably should've eaten something before I drank...that's all."
"You really want to go?"
"I think it'd be good for you to unwind," she nodded. "So, yea."
"Well, how about we go pick up a salad or something? Cause neither of us really had a chance to eat at the banquet."
Carrie raised an eyebrow, "Meaning you're planning on getting me drunk?"
Kelly laughed softly, a small smile playing on her lips.
Carrie's eyes lit up as she took Kelly's chin in her hand, raising her face up so that it caught the street light, "Wait a second...is that a smile?"
"Care..." Kelly fussed.
"Has anyone ever told you how amazingly infectious your smile is?"
Kelly just rolled her eyes as she laid her head back on Carrie's shoulder, telling the driver the new plans.
