Chapter 67

[Cordelia]

The hallway feels hollow and empty as my words ring out around us. It takes Clark a few moments to process my words, but as the meaning becomes clear, I watch as his expression slowly falls.

“You don’t want me there,” he finally murmurs. “I see.”

“Clark, It’s not that I don’t want you to be there to see the baby, I just, I haven’t had any time with Atlas since I returned from the island and this is his baby,” I try to explain, but the more I say the sadder he looks as if my words are crushing him. “Look, it isn’t about not wanting you, Clark, it is about needing him.”

“Of course,” he replies, his voice flat. “I guess I’ll see you later.”

Kissing my cheek, he begins his slow descent down the stairs and back out onto the street. Even though this is what I asked him to do, I can’t help but feel a little guilty about the way I managed this situation. If I could have only been honest with him yesterday, maybe we could have avoided the confusion and hurt today.

I hope you all enjoyed these frequent updates today. I am on a three-day weekend and I am trying to get you all as much of the story as I can. For those of you wondering if I will be continuing this story to a logical conclusion...of course, I am! They will have their HEA! I promise. But before we get there there will be trials, there will be trouble, and there will be mystery and adventure. Don't worry, I won't grow bored and set it aside for a different book. I have several books going at once, but that doesn't mean I will neglect this one (I usually have 3-4 books going simultaneously). This book will continue to be updated daily through June! Thank you all for your support! If you are enjoying this story so far, consider giving it a gem or two in appreciation.
