Serious talk – Chapter 9
Elizabeth looked at those young people and saw in his eyes that he was lost, sometimes we have so many problems that we can't see where the solution is, and many times that solution is under our eyes.
Talking with Robert and Nathan, she noted that the boy must also have heard some of the gossip that was going around that town that morning, but Elizabeth didn't think Nathan was aware, as he had rounds in the morning.
- Lady Thorton! I'm sorry, but it's really true. I didn't imagine all this would happen.
- I know Robert. But it's like I told you yesterday at home, everything we do has consequences, whether good or bad.
She saw those little eyes overflowing with tears, looking at Nathan she spoke without words, that her heart ached for that boy, He was learning from the mistake but in the worst possible way. that woman, she loved those children as if they were her children and she would do anything for them, when Nathan thought he couldn't love more, he noticed that she made him fall in love with her every gesture.
Elizabeth asked Nathan if she could do something with Robert and he, understanding what it would be, nodded, that boy needed to see that the path was on its way.
- Robert, look at me... Elizabeth knelt in front of the boy and took his hands and spoke with a mother's protective voice.
- I love you, like everyone else in that room. I know you made a mistake yesterday and the possible consequences. But look, you've already been punished and you're serving my punishment. But look Robert, I'm an adult, I'm in charge of my destiny. I stole Nathan's horse and I ran after you. Nobody forced me to do this, I have my free will, I knew what I was doing, why I was doing it and I also knew what I would possibly face. amidst all the confusion and fear, me and Nathan started dating yesterday.
- Robert, you weren't right yesterday but what Elizabeth wants to show you is that life goes on, regardless of what happens in our lives, we just have to be careful and take the right roads.
- If you have so much pain inside you, why don't you do me a favor?
- Anything for you, Mrs. Thorton!
- Study... Show me that in the classroom, you are invincible at least in the area you want to work on. Fight...battle against everything and show me that I was always right in saying that you and those other boys will go far and will win.
Robert got up, smiled, and gave Elizabeth a big hug, and thanked Nathan, he was about to leave the door when he heard:
- Where are you going Robert?
- To mountie nathan school! I need to show everyone that my teacher is the best. And so he ran away.
Robert was already seventeen years old, in a few months he would graduate, along with Laura, Emily, Cody. Elizabeth was already preparing her tests and was sure the graduation would be beautiful.
Nathan closed the door of the police station and in two strides he was already in front of Elizabeth, and grabbing her slim waist, he pulled her into his arms, kissing her with a burning passion, it was incredible to have that small woman in his arms, he couldn't stand it anymore. The desire to kiss her almost didn't hold back while Robert was there. He loved his Lizbeth more than anything else in life.
Pulling away from her, he could see her eyes shining and her mouth half open, still wet from the kiss, her cheek had a slight red, showing him all her shyness, Nathan had never seen anything more beautiful than that, something more tempting and sexy. My Lizbeth...
