Chapter 31
Henry was in a hurry. He had to catch her before she disappeared altogether. He had to catch up to her, he really needed to speak with her.
Everything came to an abrupt halt however, as he bumped up against something hard.
He had no idea what he had hit until he sat up and looked across his left shoulder
"Oh no," he said, shaking his head. "I don't believe it."
He stood up and feeling slightly dizzy, put his hand up to his forehead. He steadied himself.
"Alex," he asked, "Alex, are you alright?"
His arms and legs were splayed out at all angles. Henry laughed. He looked like a small snow angel.
"Alex," he called softly.
"Alex?" he asked. He reached down to shake him gently.
"ALEX!"
Alex moved a little, but not much.
"Come on, Alex, wake up."
He opened his eyes and smiled.
"Henry?" he asked, smiling slightly. "Is that you? Was it you who.?"
"Yes, it was me," Henry nodded as he reached out his hand to pull Alex up. "You alright?"
Alex got to his feet. "A little dizzy," he said, swaying a bit. "Lord, did that hurt!"
"Didn't feel any better for me, cousin. Sorry."
"Don't worry, my left side is fine if you want to run into that."
Henry smiled but ignored the comment
"What's this?" Alex said, holding up what looked like Danielle's shoe.
Henry took it. "Do you know where she is, Alex? I need to find her. "
"She just took off through there," he said, pointing into a large cornfield that separated the two properties.
"Actually, she ran. My guess is that she'd be at her favorite spot which is."
Alex never finished because Henry was gone. He saw him running as fast as could through the cornfield.
"The lake," he said to himself, watching him run further away from him. "Good luck cousin and I hope you get what you want."
Alex smiled and opened his hand to look for the ring. Funny, he was still clutching it tightly in his hand. He wrapped his fingers around it and held it tightly.
"I wish you two all the happiness in the world, cousin. You deserve her."
He turned and ran back to the manor. He couldn't wait to see Camille and tell her the good news.
