Ella had enjoyed a fantastic day at the zoo and was exhausted by the time
she had returned home. Elizabeth didn't know whether to be happy or
disappointed that Ella would be asleep when Robert came.
Elizabeth bathed Ella and put her to bed. She scrapped her hair up, she wasn't going to make too much of an effort after all it was just paperwork.
Robert came a little after 7. He had brought Chinese food and Elizabeth served it up. She sat down and began to fill out her charts. They sat in complete silence working. Elizabeth could feel Robert's eyes on her and looked up, he looked away.
"We seem to have lots to do, how did we get so behind?" She quizzed
"I think you mean how did you get behind. This is your paperwork! I'm just helping" He stated
"What out of the kindness of your heart," She said sarcastically
"You know if you were anyone else I would've been offended" She ignored his comment and finished her meal, she thanked him and continued the paperwork. The silence was very uncomfortable.
"Robert I am very tired, would we be able to do this another time?" she asked making some excuse
"I will leave, but there won't be another time. The reason I came tonight is to tell you I am leaving. I have been offered a chief of staff post in New York."
Elizabeth was shocked.
"But why move to NewYork? Your life is here." She asked
"I have nothing here lizzie except you, and you don't feel the same way. Plus the pay's much better." He joked
"When do you go?" she asked
"Tommorow. I'm already packed. Anyway I best leave. I have an early start in the morning." He said rising to leave
"I'll miss you Robert." She said
She kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and left
Don't worry guys its not over!! Hold tight.
