Zachariah frowned and was obviously angry.

Then Cora immediately added in a softer tone, "I don't mean to get you angry, Zach! I'm just caring about you too much: indeed, I shouldn't have gone abroad selfishly years ago, but why couldn't you just wait for my return?

"You have my words, my love. And I shall never let you down." answered Zachariah.
