Hugh breathed in the scent he had missed all day long, the one he knew so well. He held her close, afraid she might slip away again.
However, his hug was so tight that Chelsea started to cry.
"Hugh, what are you doing? Let me go!" she cried out.
"I won't, not for anything," Hugh said, his voice firm. "You can't just leave me like that. Did you sneak away because you're mad at me? If you're upset, you should talk to me.
"I don't know what I did to make you leave without a word... I can't take this kind of punishment."
Chelsea bit her lip, still unable to talk about what was bothering her.
She looked at Hugh, wondering if his words were real or just a mask he wore. Was he really being honest with her?
"Hugh... I think we need a break. Can I stay with Lucy for a bit? You should head home. I just can't see you right now."
"No way. If I'm going home, you're coming with me."
The Eurovia trip ended so suddenly. Since Chelsea wanted some peace and quiet to think things over, he would help her find it. However, Chelsea could not just walk away in silence, leaving him behind.
"Chelsea, you have to come with me, or at least let me come with you. If not, I'll think you don't want me anymore, and I can't handle that."
Hugh... How could he say that? Who was the one pushing who away?
He already had someone new, so why did he bother coming all the way to Charleston to find her? "Hugh, be honest with me. Is there someone else?"
