Oliver returned to the hideout with the hope in his heart that the adverse aspects of the afternoon Rosie had spent with him would not stay in her mind for too long. His eyes found the painting of Trelynne Cove. In his mind’s eye he saw a poignant vision of Kerensa walking along the beach holding hands with Clem Trenchard as they must have done in the days of their betrothal. It was strange, he thought, how all the females closest to Clem were drawn to him. It was no wonder Clem hated him so much. He had taken Kerensa away and then she had fallen in love with him. Alice had turned to him for comfort in her moments of despair. Even Clem’s small daughter wasn’t shy of him and had climbed up on his lap. And now Rosie.

Oliver next fancied he saw Kerensa alone in the picture, standing on the rocks lost and distressed. He wanted desperately to be with Kerensa at that moment. If only he could go and take her in his arms, sweep away the sorrow in those hauntingly deep grey-green eyes. He knew he was responsible for that sorrow and felt guilty at her wretchedness yet at that moment he also envied her. Kerensa was content with herself deep down, never having known the inner turmoils he had suffered throughout his life. Despite his years, experiences, position and wealth he had been torn apart at the innermost part of his being. He was wracked with pain at Kerensa withholding the secret of Samuel Drannock’s true identity from him but what tortured him even more was his reaction to it.

He needed time to think. Time for a deep search inside himself. Time to be alone and make what would be a painful journey. Suddenly, Oliver knew what he had to do. In the not too distant future, when he had made suitable arrangements, he would go away. Far away from Cornwall, the estate and his wife.
