THE door shut behind the couple and the resounding noise was like an indication of finality to Percy. He felt dizzy with anxiety. The rare sight of Baby's face with no trace of a smile on her face made him feel uneasy.
"You're scaring me,” He said lightheartedly, with a weak smile rising on his face, “Should I start begging for forgiveness?”
Baby's gaze on him softened, and she almost reach out to hug the man but restrained herself. She doubted that he'd want her to hug him after she told him what she planned.
Her voice caught in her throat for a moment so she averted her eyes from his trusting blue eyes, “I... Plan to move.” She finally let out. Every bone in her body was frozen in place with apprehension but she continued nonetheless, even when she looked at his perplexed expression. “I've already put down the deposit and packed all my things. I'll probably attend my classes online.”
She began to ramble when silence hung around them like a dense raincloud, "I know it's all so sudden and a little irrational, but the apartment is nice, safe... I— I'll be fine.”
Percy expected to fall into any selection of scenarios but that was not in the selection. He remembered to breathe when Baby stared at him in silence but still struggled to speak.
Unconsciously, his lips moved and his voice sounded so far away he could barely comprehend that it was him speaking.
“You never said us.”
Baby looked startled, “But you'll be okay.”
The man snapped out of his confused daze, “I will? You decided that all on your own.”
A meek apology threatened to leave Baby's lips, she was unsure if the clearly agitated man would even care.
“When did you decide this? To leave me.”
“I'm not leaving you, I'm just moving into my own place... I need this.” She sighed deeply.
Percy felt his pulse race despite her assurance, “So you're not leaving me? You still love me?”
Baby nodded, “I love you. I'm not leaving.”
He seemed unconvinced, his eyes searching hers desperately. For hesitation, or anything that would help him stop her.
