Chapter 77: NO FORGIVENESS

Gavin didn’t respond as he slowly walked across the room, the floorboards creaking with each step. Lifting the lid from a small tin canister he retrieved a simple gold band, slipping it onto his finger before turning back to Becky.

“I am sorry I led you to believe there would be a future for us and have disgraced you. Adelaide is my wife and you are right, she left everything for me. We have been married for over a decade and it is not something that can just be thrown away.”

Gavin couldn’t bring himself to meet Becky’s crestfallen eyes before turning on his heel and heading out the door.

“Forgive me…” he whispered, then was gone.

Great tears tumbled down Becky’s cheeks as she watched the man she had fallen in love with walk away. Lifting a thin shawl from the bed, she wrapped it around her shoulders, clutching it close, before disappearing into the night.
