[G3595]Inserted: He tried to think of the good times they shared, but those memories were blanked out, completely overshadowed by that one defining moment in time.
[G3596]Inserted: The disappointment and the hurt that flooded through him at that moment was overwhelming. He had thought that they really had something special, but clearly she hadn't shared that sentiment. With his heart broken into a thousand shards, he left Paris to return home.
[G3597]Inserted: He had woken up to sunlight streaming in and a cold spot where his lover should have been. He remembered it as if it were yesterday. He had looked around the room and noticed that her clothes were all gone, which he had found odd, but the first thing that came to mind was that she may have taken it to the laundramat. He hadn't for a single moment, thought that she had left. That was until he saw the small note on the table that read, 'Goodbye Conner."
[G3598]Inserted: And the day that everything changed...
[G3599]Inserted: By the time dinner was over he wasted no time. He headed straight to his room. Caroline stayed behind to help clean the kitchen and have a night cap with the rest of the family. As he finally flopped down on his bed, he couldn't help but think about her.

Conner awoke to sunlight streaming in and a cold spot where his lover should have been. He sat up and looked around the room, noticing that her clothes were gone and listened to the silence. He got out of bed and wandered around the room before noticing a note on the table that hadn't been there the night before. In Caroline's elegant script the note read, "Goodbye, Conner," and nothing else. Conner felt as if his heart had been ripped from his chest. He thought he really had something with Caroline, he even fancied himself to be in love with her, thought she felt the same. Why did she leave? He tried to think back to the time they shared and came up blank. In the end he could only come to one conclusion. "It wasn't real," He mumbled, "Not of it was so easy to walk away." Conner

From that moment on he swore to never let another woman have his heart. *** Conner woke to the sound of knocking and was surprised to see that it was Caroline at his door. "What is it Caroline?" He asked. "I just wanted to talk to you about dinner." Conner felt his defenses coming up, "What about it?" He asked more tersely than he intended. "I just wanted you to know that I only see your brother as a friend, you don't need to be jealous." Conner fought not to roll his eyes, "And you wanted to tell me this in the middle of the light because?" Caroline's frowned, "I just wanted to let you know…in case you got the wrong idea." Conner did roll his eyes this time, "Thank you for the unnecessary massage, I'll keep that in mind. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to be up early tomorrow. Some of us don't have the luxury of sleeping in." Even in the scant light the moon provided, Conner could see that his cold words had hurt and angered her. He half expected her to start shouting at him. But she didn't, instead she took a deep breath and smiled. "Good night, Conner," She said, before practically stomping her way across the hall, to her
[G3604]Deleted: Keith had offered to teach Caroline how to cook during breakfast, which she eagerly agreed to. Hours later, the kitchen was a mess and Keith was scratching his head. "You really weren't kidding when you said you didn't know how to cook," He said. Caroline looked down at her hands and sighed, "I've never been very good at it, that's more my sister's area." "I bet you ate out a lot during college, which begs the question on how you've managed to keep your figure," Caroline pretended to be offended and nudged him with one of her dirty hands. Keith retaliated, by lightly flicking her nose; soon there was an all-out war between the two. They were giggling so hard at the mess they created that they didn't hear anyone walk in until someone cleared their throat. Caroline turned to see a very livid looking Conner in the doorway. "Don't let me stop your fun," Conner bit out and marched up stairs to his room. Caroline looked at the empty space that Conner had recently filled in shock. "I'll clean this mess," Keith said and Caroline remembered that he was even there, "You go get yourself cleaned up." Keith looked very confused by Conner's obvious anger, staring at where his brother had exited. Caroline felt herself flush with anger at Conner's rudeness; so instead of going to shower, she marched straight into his room. "How dare you?" She seethed, to Conner. Conner had taken his shirt off and was holding a fresh one in his hand. "Excuse me?" He shot back, "How dare I? How dare you, Caroline. How dare you do that in front of me and with my brother no less?" "Do what? We were cooking, Conner! That's it and you couldn't see past your own jealousy to know that nothing is going on!" "Don't give me that bullshit, I know what I saw." "What you saw was two friends cooking," Conner scoffed at that, "That's it, never mind how you feel about me, how could you think that of your own brother?" Conner didn't answer, he just continued to glare at the woman. The longer the silence, the angrier Caroline became. "You are an asshole, Conner James," She said, "I wish I would have never come here to see you. I thought…well it doesn't matter now." She turned to leave and felt her wrist get snatched by Conner. "Why doesn't it matter?" Conner said, his blue eyes boring into hers. Caroline tried to free her wrist but Conner kept his firm grip, "Tell me, Caroline!" But Caroline refused to say anythi
