“Leyance,” he began, “Gina needs rest and
relaxation. You want yet another chance to prove your love. These
being true, take this: bring Gina to that old cottage you saw
tonight. There perhaps she can relax before returning to duties.
Yet, I also leave you with this advice. She will not remember the
way you wish her to. So, be caring and ask of her feelings, not
just telling of your own. This way you will understand her better
and will find a better path to her heart.”
Leyance’s sorrow lifted. Perhaps this was the
key.
“ I will do it,” he
resolved. “How long do you expect will be needed?”
“ A few days,” came his
reply. “You may take her there tomorrow.”
“ It will be done.” He
turned to leave, feeling a sense of purpose, his heart being
settled, yet he turned again. “Thank you, Fheyrhil.” Then he was
gone. Fheyrhil silently watched him go.
“ You are welcome, my boy.
You are welcome.”
Awaking from a restless sleep, Gina felt
drained. She dreaded the day ahead which was to be filled with
training, long hours, and more time to ponder on her feelings than
she wanted to be submitted to. Sighing, she dragged herself out of
bed and made her way over to her closet and began to dress.
Once outside, Gina hurried to the training
field. Yet, as she arrived, she realized that no one was there.
“ Gloria?”
she called. “Kaleb?” Still no one came. Perhaps they are running late? she
thought but highly doubted it. She looked around and noticed
something on the ground. A long-stemmed crystal rose with a note.
She marveled at the rose and touched it gently with her finger.
Upon touching it, she found that, despite its appearance, it was
not crystal. It was a real rose. Next, the note was
opened.
Dearest Gina,
Please forgive me for last night. I
shouldn’t have pushed you as I did; I suppose I just do not know
how to approach this. One thing I do know is that I should be
helping you through this a little better than I have. Fheyrhil and
I have seen that this transition is not an easy one for you and
understandably so. He has asked that you be taken away from this
for a while, so you can relax. I’ll help you in any way I can, for
I will accompany you on this small vacation. Please meet me at the
base of the main steps at 10:00 with what you wish to bring.
Hopefully this will give you a much-needed break. I’ll see you
then.
Forever Yours,
Leyance
As Gina lowered the note,
her head spun with confusion. She was relieved to be excused from
her duties. She had known that sanity was escaping her and that
time was needed to mend it. Yet, time was also needed to mend her
heart. A few days alone with Leyance might only lead to more
heartache and confusion. Gina turned back to the note. I’ll help you in any way I can, for I will
accompany you on this small vacation. He
would be with her, and there was no way to avoid him. Not anymore.
With a sigh, Gina dragged her feet back to the manor and started
packing.
At 9:55, Leyance sat on the steps. He
marveled at the beautiful morning that was around him. So much
excitement was in his heart this morning, for he knew he would have
much wanted time alone with Gina. She, however, was not nearly as
excited but rather fearful and worried. Nevertheless, she showed up
at the appointed time. Leyance’s eyes lit up when he saw her, and
he ran up to meet her.
“Good morning,” he greeted her.
“Morning,” she
said. God, why do those eyes have to be so
captivating? she wondered silently.
Quickly, she pulled her gaze away.
They started their small journey to the
cottage. Gina lagged a little behind him, still unwilling to be
alone with him. All too soon, they reached the small house. Leyance
opened the door and held it for her.
“ After you,” he said,
grinning.
“ You first,” she replied,
yet seeing his eyes quickly added, “please.” He glanced at her
strangely then entered first. She followed. The cottage basically
consisted of a large room
