The door clicked with such finality that she almost broke down, but now was not the time. Right now, she had to get away from here and back to the abbey. She couldn't stay here another minute. The sooner she left, the sooner the Captain would get over her and move on. If the baroness was right and she stayed, something terrible could happen. She took a deep breath, squared her shoulders and started to walk towards the gate.
She had her hand on the gate when the front door flew opened and someone strode out with a determined air. He spotted her and stopped. She was frozen to the spot, it was him. He stood there and looked, no, glared at her. His deep blue eyes were boring into hers, holding them captive. What was she to do now! 'Run' her mind told her, 'drop your bags, and run.' She considered doing just that and was about to turn when he spoke.
'Fräulein, would you care to explain what you are doing? Are you really going to walk out like this? Without a goodbye to anyone, not even the children?'
'I said why I was leaving, and I said goodbye.'
'How did you? An insufficient note?' He held up the note she had left, threw it on the ground and started towards her. She backed up to keep the distance. 'Don't you think they deserve better than that? I will not allow you to leave until you have said a proper goodbye to them. Plus, I want three good reasons why you are leaving.'
'Please, Captain I need to get away from here.'
He sighed and stopped in front of her. She was now very close to tears, but would not let them fall. ' Please, Fräulein. Stay another night, if you still want to leave in the morning you can. Don't leave like this. It will hurt the children too much if you go without saying a word.'
She sighed as well. What could she do? He was right. It was cruelty in it's self to do that. She just couldn't do it.
'Ok, I'll stay.' She whispered in a defeated voice. He was so close to her that she couldn't catch her breath.
'Thank you.' He whispered.
'I only ask one thing.'
'Yes?'
'Please don't make me attend the party.'
'I would never dream of making you do anything you didn't want to do, Ma...Fräulein.'
'I'll see you in the morning then, Captain?'
'Umm, eh, yes, of course.'
'Goodnight sir.'
'Goodnight.'
She brushed passed him and walked back towards the house, all the while she could feel his gaze on her back as she left him.
More to come. R&R pls.
