She turns her head, listening to the woman sniffle. She should know that better than anybody. The heart wants what it wants, and it manufactures its own poisons without need of another person.
She sighs.
"What I said wasn't very sportin'. I was angry on behalf of my friend. You're right; it takes two t'make a baby, an' if I'd been reactin' t'that then I'd have had a thing'r two t'say to Will as well. Hell, I still might, once I'm outta here. But what happened wasn't Carlotta's fault. She don't deserve t'be treated the way you treated her tonight jus' because she forgave Will, an' tried t'help with Li'l William while you was gone. You wanna talk 'bout what's not fair t'that little boy? Introducin' violence an' anger into his young life. That ain't fair."
She returns her gaze to the ceiling.
"You wanna be that boy's momma again? Then you best start actin' like one. An' stop treatin' him like a chess piece. I promise, y'do that an' Carlotta will be happy to acquiesce."
