Zorro's decision

"I've been thinking, you should have a husband, someone like Diego, perhaps."

"Like Diego? But I thought we shared certain feelings?"

Zorro knew he could tell her his feelings or he could finish it before it went any further.

"No, we don't. You're in love with this mask, but there can't come anything out of it. I'm sorry, Victoria."

Crying, she looked at him. "I believed you cared for me, but I now know that I was wrong."

Quietly he slipped away. It was Diego's turn now to dry her tears and show her his love.
