What could she tell hem?
Now she had to head to B Country. Whether he agreed or not, she's determined to go. Plus, she didn't want to drag him into this mess.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward. Barely ten meters away, she would turn a corner. Once she was out of sight, he wouldn't see her anymore.
“Violette!" Elijah watched her stride off without hesitation, his heart pounding. His eyes grew bloodshot as he darted towards the check-in counter, only to be stopped by security.
“Violette! Look back at me!" He abandoned all dignity and pride, shouting loudly in the bustling airport terminal. “Turn around! Look at me!"
Violette's steps were heavy as lead. She barely made it to the corner of the corridor, the short distance draining all her strength. Out of his sight, she leaned against the glass wall, sobbing quietly.
“Mike, tell him to leave!" Her voice was full of pain as she covered her face with both hands.
Mike frowned, looking troubled. “He won't listen to me. You shouldn’t be going either. I'll call Joey!"
After calling Joey, Mike took a hold of Violette's hand and led her away.
When Joey arrived at the airport, he quickly found Elijah standing at check-in counter number 4.
Violette was gone. His heart, his soul, they've left with her. This was not the first time he'd been left behind.
Five years ago, she did the same thing, leaving him no matter how much he pleaded. He never thought she'd do it again after five years. Although this departure doesn't mean a breakup, the hurt is just the same.
