Sydney looked Christian in they eyes. "If you're talking about me being faithful to you, no. You're the only man in my life," she said sincerely. "But I have been keeping something from you and you must hear me out."
Sighing, she continued. “There’s going to be a time for me to explain everything, for me to apologize the way I need to--” she paused as tears welled in her eyes. Sydney clenched her jaw to hold them back then started talking again. “But...I’m going to have to ask for something and that’s trust.”
"You trust me, right?"

"Of course I trust you. I'd put all my trust in you. I just hope you feel the same way about me."
Christian brushed Syd's bangs behind her ear and kissed her.

Sydney kissed him deeply before pulling away gently and looking into his eyes.
"I'll be leaving in a few weeks," she said painfully, drawing in a shakey breath.

Christian looked down at his hands and looked away from Sydney's penetrating gaze.
"What?!" he exclaimed in total disbelief. "Why? Is it... is it because of me?"

Sydney furrowed her brow. "'Because of you?'" she repeated as she shook her head, slightly hurt by his words. "Christian, no."
"I'm in a...situation where I either tell you a lie or not tell you at all and--" she choked out as tear blurred her vision. Sydney clenched her jaw and tried to smile. "I love you, Christian, and I can't lie to you...but I can't tell you the truth either. That's why you're going to have to trust me when I say I can't tell you where and why I'll be going away."

"That's p-perfectly f-fine with me," Christian said. The world swam before his eyes.
He took hold of her hand and asked, "When will you be back?"

Sydney looked down at their hands and bit down on her lips, trying her hardest not to cry. "I don't know," she muttered.
Sydney let out a weary sigh. "I didn't want to ruin this date..." She said sadly. She took her spoon and stuck it into the barely touched ice cream frustrated. "I'm sorry."

"No, no. You did not ruin it; just being here with me counts. Well, seeing as you're leaving in a few weeks, we should enjoy the most of the time that we do have together." Christian gently touched Syd's cheek.
"What do you wish to do next?"

Sydney bit her lip and smiled.
"I don't know..." she said with a rather releaved sigh. "I was thinking maybe--" Sydney stopped abruptly as something hit the side of her foot. When she looked down, she saw an apple with a bite taken out of it. Frowning, she look up and saw a strands of golden blonde hair near a tree.
"Wait here," she said to Christian as she got up to go check it out...
"Jesus Christ! Bella!" she screamed from behind the tree at the sight of the unconscious Bella. "Christian!"

Christian sprung to his feet and rushed to Sydney's side.
"What is it?! What--" he cut himself off when he caught a sight of Bella's body laying on the ground.
"Oh my god."

"Hurry! Hail a carriage!" she yelled, pointing toward the road as she tried to find a pulse in her neck.

Christian ran to the end of the sidewalk and held out his arm, trying in desperation to hail a carriage. He lost count, but he knew that at least five passed by, not even bothering to slow down. Just when he'd lost all hope, a carriage finally pulled up.
The driver asked, "You be needing a ride?"
Christian nodded and replied, "A ride for three, actually."
"Well then, hop on in. I haven't got much time as I have to get to a meeting at the town hall." Christian ran back to Syd and Bella's unconscious form. He picked up her body in his arms and quickly walked back to the carriage.

Sydney jumped it. "Opera Populiare!" she shouted at the driver.
