Chapter 6
"Well Maria, this is certainly a surprise! I had not expected to see you after, well" said Coeur DeNoir
"Well I am sorry to turn up unexpected like this, I was wondering if I could speak to Robin?" asked Maria.
She could feel her heart racing, she knew she had to see him.
"I am sorry but he has gone"
She froze.
"Don't look so alarmed, he will be back tonight. You are welcome to wait for him here if you wish"
"No I can't I am sorry I have to get back to my uncle. Could I leave him a note?"
"Certainly! Well I must be off- I have business to do. Good day to you"
The Coeur left the hall as a servant, Hallowell, approached her with a pen and paper.
"For you miss"
"Thank you".
Maria wrote a short note and handed it back to Hallowell.
"Could you make sure this gets to Master Robin please?"
"Certainly miss. Good day" Hallowell left.
Maria sighed. She had been longing to see him. Longing to apologise for everything that had happened the night before. Longing to tell him how she really felt. Longing to declare her love for him. Suddenly she thought: do I really love Robin? Yes I think I do, she thought to herself. Hopefully he would see the note when he got back and they could at least go back to being friends. She hated the thought of losing him. That must be why she reacted so strongly to seeing him with that girl. Well, she thought, if he loves her then I shall not get in the way of it. I shall gladly support him, whatever his decision even if it breaks my heart.
