dress with a square cut neck and slippers on her feet. She was beautiful as always and she had her hair tucked back behind her ear on one side.
She knew almost instantly that he knew why she was here. The tension was overwhelming in the room, almost to the point that Faith took a slight step back before squaring her shoulders and moving forward into the room.
“Cooper, I know it's a surprise.” She moved towards him.
“Surprise, Faith, really? Is that why you think I’m upset?” He sat up and put his feet on the floor. He glanced up at her.
“Why, that’s all I want to know is why? No, wait, that’s not true. When were you going to tell me? Just let me wake up one day and go to breakfast and when I say ‘Hey where’s Faith’ someone just tell me ‘Oh she’s gone like the wind?’” He was angry.
“No, Cooper, I was coming here to talk to you tonight about it. It’s just time for me to move on. I am too close to Mrs. Robinson and this place.”
He stood and walked over to her. He grabbed her wrist and put her hand on his heart.
“Do you feel that, Faith? That is my heart, it’s racing and it’s broken at the same time. I want you to stay, I don’t want you to go. Not for Mother, or anything else but just for me.”
“Cooper, stop...” he cut her off.
“Tell me you don’t feel the same way, Faith. Tell me you don’t love me the way I love you and I’ll let you go.” He pulled her closer and kissed her. It was gentle and full of the promise of love. She pulled away and looked up at him. The tears were flowing freely now.
She turned to go but he pulled her back. “No, Faith, I know you feel this between us, you tell me, you say the words and only then will I let you go.”
She took a deep breath, her love for him was choking her and she couldn’t breathe.
“Cooper, I can’t do this….” He held her close to him, feeling her heart beating, smelling her scent.
She took what strength she had left and pulled away.
“I don’t love you, Cooper.” It was barely a whisper but she spoke it and he could only stare at her as she moved towards the door. He dropped to his knees and cried freely like he hadn’t since he was a child.
Chapter 19
Faith moved quickly, if she looked back she would never go, she knew it. She went to her room and gathered the things she needed for a few days. She would have the driver bring the rest to the hotel tomorrow. For now, she had to go. She looked up at the house as she stood with the car door open.
“My love...” She whispered as she got in and pulled out of the driveway.
She drove the car down the drive until she heard a rattling. No not now, please, car, not now. She pulled off the side of the road for a second and let the car rest. It had been overheating a lot lately and it was not the time to fall apart on her. She had to get out of there. Loving Cooper was a physical pain and leaving him was the knife that made it even harder on her. She unceremoniously kicked the side of the car. She immediately felt bad, it wasn’t like her to be this upset. Glancing to the side yard, she knew she was close to the church, it was the only option she had. As she set out walking on foot, she reflected on the way things had developed in her life. Before coming, she had been reserved and content with life. She had been enthusiastic about studying abroad and now all she could think of was being here, with him. Everything had changed, she had changed. Now she was sporting a broken heart and a head full of clouds. To make it harder, she was going to have a baby. She was planning on telling him…but he was too emotional...too much too soon.
The sun was high the next day, Faith woke with her eyes puffy and swollen but she was determined to tamp down her emotions with a reality check. She had left, but it was the right thing to do for everyone. She was going to head into town and book a car, since
