드레이크, 드레이 크 Carne left the Poldark church in a daze. His mind was in a whirl. His 심장 was aching, like it never ached before. He still couldn't believe it, that should have been him up there saying 'I do.' It should have been him who was walking out of the church with her. 'Twas 드레이크, 드레이 크 who should've been the bridegroom. But she seemed 로스트 to him forever now. Almost mechanically he walked down the road, placing one foot in front of the other. He was like a machine now, going from one task to the other, never saying a word, never showing emotion. That night he refused to take super, insetting instead to lie down on his cot. He laid there awake thinking over the events of the 일 and her. Her, the girl he loved 더 많이 then anything. The one who broke his 심장 once and caused him to go to France in 검색 of purpose. The one who just yesterday said that she would leave everything to be with him. Now, she would never be his. He still could remember the look on her face as she left the church. It was burned in his memory a scar that would never heal. No matter how much pain he was caused today, she was still a part of him. And he could never deny it. And in the stillness of the night, 드레이크, 드레이 크 wondered what she was doing in that far off place. Was she sad? Was she happy? Did she really mean those things she said to him on the bridge that day. That day, it seemed so long 이전 now. Like a distant memory on the past. 드레이크, 드레이 크 now began to sobbed uncontrollably. All 일 he held in. All 일 he dealt with the pain. But with each passing minute, it was becoming worse. He felt like someone ripped the 심장 of his chest. And he couldn't stand it. No words of comfort, no medicine would take this away. Only time would heal what has been hurt.

The 다음 day, 드레이크, 드레이 크 made the firm decision that he was leaving. The pleas of his brother and sister fell upon deaf ears. Even Ross could do nothing. 드레이크, 드레이 크 couldn't stay in a place that was causing him so much heartache and pain. But he couldn't leave with out knowing why. His very nature refused the thought of leaving without an explanation. If only he knew her reasons, then he could leave knowing why. Summing up the courage, 드레이크, 드레이 크 took pen and paper in hand and scratched a few words upon the paper. All that was needed was a few words. Please come would be enough. No signature, no name, no place would be needed. She would the hand. She would know where to go. And she would come. Of this, 드레이크, 드레이 크 was certain. The letter was sealed and delivered. Now 드레이크, 드레이 크 waited.

It's amazing how moments seem to stretch out into a thousand when 당신 wait in anticipation. How the 초 never seem to end when 당신 know not the moment of someone's arrival. Anxiety takes hold of 당신 and makes constantly look over 당신 shoulder, ahead, and from left to right. This was taking place with Drake. The endless waiting and not knowing was torture. Still, he sat there on the rocks, sometimes looking out to sea, other times looking for her. Then finally, in the distance he saw her. The outlines of her figure growing closer and closer was she walked toward him. Soon they faced each other. Neither could finds the words to start, for there were no right words with which to begin. What could she say? What explanation could she offer? Morwenna had no words of comfort for him. She looked at him then the sea, then back at him. It was all she could do.

"Why did ye do it?" 드레이크, 드레이 크 finally asked Morwenna through chocked up tears. There they stood on the 바닷가, 비치 gazing at one another. The new Mrs. Morwenna Witworth looked the young Carne and tried her best not to bust forth in tears. She had only been married a few days but in that time she had never known such misery. The waves around them broke in on the rocks and sand. Seagulls above them flew over the ocean. But alone, two figures stood gazing into each other's eyes. The look of sadness hanging over them both. "Why?" 드레이크, 드레이 크 asked again.

Morwenna sighed, her chest vibrating as she inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Drake..." she breathed out.

"Why, Morwenna?" 드레이크, 드레이 크 cut her off, the saddens in his voice becoming 더 많이 notable with each word. "I thought 당신 loved me. I thought 당신 wanted to be with me. To start a home, a family. Why would 당신 do this? It only ''twas six days past that ye looked me in the eye and told me that ye loved me. Was it all a lie? I can not believe..."

"Drake!" She cut him off, tears now beginning to fall freely down her cheeks. "They we're going to hang you. What else was I to do? Let 당신 die..."

"It would've been better then seeing 당신 wed someone 당신 do not love!" He interjected. His 심장 was breaking, she knew as well as see it. Hers to, was shattering into a million pieces, later to scattered upon the very sand on which they stood. "Do 당신 사랑 him?" He asked, his own tears leaving wet marks on his cheeks and neck.

"How can 당신 say that?!" She protested in sudden sadness and shock. "Of course I do not 사랑 him. I never could. He's a monster! But I did what I had to do for you. I could not stand 의해 and watch 당신 be hung at the crossroads. My marriage to Mr. Witworth was done because I could not live with myself, even if I had never met Mr. Witworth, if I knew that 당신 were not alive. My world, my life would be empty if I knew 당신 were never in it. At least this way I know that 당신 somewhere thinking of me from time to time..."

"From time to time?" 드레이크, 드레이 크 asked in turn. "I think of ye all the time. 일 and night. Sleeping and waking. Sun and moon. Working 또는 dreaming. 당신 are always in my thoughts. In my actions. And I can not live knowing that he gets to be with 당신 when I cannot. When I can never be. It kills me to think that he will get lay with you, where I must sit from a distance knowing that your his in every human way. It rips at my soul to think that 당신 will 곰 him children. His children, when they should be my sons and daughters. Our sons and daughters." 드레이크, 드레이 크 could no longer hold back the pain that gripped his heart. The wound was caused and could never be closed. "Tis 당신 and I who should be sitting 의해 the fireplace watching little ones play and grow. Now we'll never have that."

"Do 당신 think that this easy for me?" Morwenna asked half in anger, half in sadness. "Because it's not. I want nothing 더 많이 then to be yours. All yours. I want to give all I am too you, holding nothing back. I kills me every morning to wake and see him 의해 my side instead of you. When I look at him, I feel like dying inside. I refuse to lay with him, because I know I'm my 심장 it would be a lie to give him myself when I what I feel for him is only disgust and contempt. The very thought 또는 mention of his name makes me cringe." She looked away in an attempt to hide her growing cries. "Drake," she sighed looking at him again, her voice shaking and slow. The pain of her own broken 심장 could be heard in all her words. "All I wanted was us to be together, but life never works out the way we plan. All I prayed for 일 and night was for a way to be with you, but God 답변 all our prayers in His own way. And who are we to 질문 the answer? Now, I am forced to live with a man that I do not and could never love. But I don't think I will ever be able to walk along a beach, 또는 see another pond 또는 seashell without thinking about you. And it makes my 심장 break." She looked at him now in the eyes. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and tried to hold the oncoming flow is fresh ones. Taking a deep breath she turned to walk away.

"Wait!" 드레이크, 드레이 크 called out reaching for her to stop her. He pulled to himself and kissed her. It was deep and passionate kiss. Morwenna, at first surprised, now kissed him in return, leaning and molding into his arms. They remained in this surreal moment., lingering in the 키스 they were sharing. He wanted to be hers, as she longed to be all his. They wanted to belong to each other. All alone in the world, just the two of them. Forever. 드레이크, 드레이 크 finally pulled away from her lips. He was still her in arms. He looked at breathlessly before resting his forehead against hers. "Then be mine." He said softly in her ear. "Be all mine Morwenna. And no one else's. Be mine."

Morwenna wrapped her arms around Drakes neck and smiled softly. She was the happiest she had been since her wedding. Was a guilty happiness? Surely not! She gave 드레이크, 드레이 크 her 심장 long ago. In truth it was his from the start. In that moment she knew that she was truly his. But sadly, she knew also that this moment would be short live. A moment, a stitch in time stolen here and there. Snatched moments and memories that would fade all to quickly. But she would be his. All his. And it would have been worth it. "I already am." She whispered softly in response. Again, 드레이크, 드레이 크 took her his arms and kissed her. This time he was never letting her go...
