real instructors, especially once she was gone. It made her sad thinking about it. Not only because she would miss her, but because the only person she would have around would be Linda again. Not that Linda wasn’t wonderful to have around, but she was hardly a buffer for Cynthia Wilson. She felt guilty just thinking about it.
“Faith, dear, are you okay?” Mrs. Robinson asked lightly as not to scare her.
“Yes, I’m sorry, yes is everything okay?” Faith tried desperately to regain her composure.
“Yes, Cooper is doing well and they are letting him go home tomorrow to recuperate at home. They said no business matters but then you know how he is.” She threw her hands up in the air.
Faith laughed at her point. No one could tell Cooper Robinson to stop working, unless he is in a coma. They walked back to Cooper’s room together and the evening went smoothly. She was happy for that... Soon it was time to go and Faith and Mrs. Robinson made their way outside to the car. Knowing she needed some time alone, Faith told Mrs. Robinson she would need to bring her car home from the hospital. Mrs. Robinson knew there was something going on there and if space was what Faith needed, that’s what she would have. Linda patted her arm.
“You go ahead, Faith, Mrs. Robinson is in good hands. She and I have makeovers to give each other tonight, don’t we dear.” Mrs. Robinson’s eyes twinkled in excitement and she and Linda both laughed. “Be careful, dear.”
Faith smiled at them both and made her way to her car. She knew exactly where she needed to be. She headed her small car out onto the road and hummed a song she had learned from Sunday school. It always calmed her and this was no different. As she got closer to the Cove, she thanked the guard for letting her in and made a turn into the church. It was dark now the sun setting quickly so she used the keys she had received from the guard. She went inside the church and flipped on the lights. The church hummed to life and Faith made her way to the front of the church. Pastor Avery was out of town for the next two weeks so she knew she would be alone there. She sat down on the pew in the front.
It would be the hardest thing she ever did…leaving here, leaving him.
Chapter 18
When she went home, she found Linda and Mrs. Robinson together laughing. It felt good to know they would be okay when she was gone. Mrs. Robinson was moving around much more freely than she had before. It made her leaving much easier to do and she swallowed the lump in her throat.
“Ladies, you look lovely, I was hoping I might be able to have a word with you both.” Faith knew Mrs. Robinson would appreciate being treated like an equal and they both nodded at her and sat down in the chairs in Mrs. Robinson’s room.
“I need to tell you both something, and I hope you will understand and be happy about it.” Faith saw Mrs. Robinson frown slightly and Linda had an apprehensive look on her face.
“It looks like I’m being moved to a new location. So it looks like tomorrow I have to head to the new family I’ve been assigned to.” Faith looked over at Linda, who was looking at Mrs. Robinson.
Her head had drooped but her face is what triggered Faith’s tears. Mrs. Robinson only asked, “Why Faith? Why do you have to go? Don’t you like it here?”
Faith had moved over beside her and hugged her to her chest.
“Oh, Mrs. Robinson, of course I like being here and you haven’t done anything wrong at all. Do you remember when I came here because you needed a nurse? Well someone else is in the same situation and you are doing so well. They are moving me to someone who needs me more, that’s all.” She looked up at Linda who was obviously sad as well. Linda patted Faith’s hand and stood up.
“I think I’m going to give you a few moments together, I’ll be downstairs.” She gave Faith a sad smile and left.
