Zach watched Cora walk away from him till he couldn't see her anymore. She had turned right towards where his man-made lake was located
He blamed himself for what happened between them. Instead of turning their still shaky relationship around for the better, he made it worse because he wasn't patient enough. He was in a hurry to take her away from her boyfriend and have her as his wife when he should have given her more time to get used to him being back in her life, but he didn't.
He was cocksure. He was impatient. He teased and pushed her too hard and now too far away for him to reach. She smiled at him but the look in her eyes... The anger, sadness, and hatred that he saw in them killed him a hundred times over. She hates him now. His Corazon really hates him now and there was nothing he could do about it
