He didn't reply he just stared back at me, then he changed his direction of his gaze.

I followed it and realised what had spooked him.

"Alec get in the car .I shall short this problem out."

"Tanya. For god sake don't do anything stupid please!" He pleaded.

"Alec, drive far away from here as you can get, and forget about Italy."

"Okay. Tanya whatever happens I love you." I could see and hear the reluctance in his face and his voice as he said this.

"I no you do, now go and don't turn back, meet me at the border of Canada in three days and if I'm not there by the forth, well don't come looking for me"

I gazed into his eyes and ushered him to go and he did and if I could cry I would have as I was about to leave the love of my life forever.
