An anxiety like I had never felt before grabbed hold of my soul when she said that. It took me a moment to even catch my breath from the shock.
Perhaps the pottery and the craft room hadn't been enough to keep her occupied and she decided she couldn't just mope about the mansion by herself. All the alone time made her crack, and she wanted to leave.
Leave, and leave me heart broken.
I had to reel it in. I couldn't let my thoughts get carried away like that. No, I needed to hear her out before letting my mind run wild in such a way.
That woman had a grip on me, that was for sure. Nothing else and no one else could get me so wound up in such a little number of words like she could. Oh, did I have it bad for her.
"Our future?" I echoed; a bit taken back by the words she just said. "What do you mean? I thought we had agreed to stay together."
