I’d been out on an errand and had done a little shopping on the side. I’d found little gifts for each of Christophe’s siblings – even Pierre – and was eager to show them to him and see what he thought. I knew at this time of day he’d likely be washing up from his sword practice so I headed straight up to our room.
He wasn’t there, nor in our bathing room when I checked. I was about to find a maid and ask to his whereabouts when I noticed a note on my pillow. Smiling, I walked over and picked it up, immediately recognizing his hand.
My smile vanished as I read what the letter contained.
Today's the day. Please make my excuses to my siblings. I'll be home when I can my heart. I love you. ~C
I crumpled the note in my hand and sat on the edge of the bed, my legs were too weak to hold me up any longer. I didn’t even try to control the tears that began to fall. I would have sworn on anything that I could actually feel the crack that formed on my heart.
I sobbed until there were no tears left within me. Then I stretched out on the bed, burying my face in his pillow and cried without tears.
