Chapter 177: A source of Obsession

""I am confused." mumbled Caleb as he got up the stairs. "Was that a successful interaction"? He asked Ashton who was right next to him physically, but his mind was lost in its own world. "Ashton"! Caleb shook his mate.

"What"? Ashton snapped. He blinked as his connection to reality restored. 

"I am asking what do you think of that interaction? Why are you so lost? Worried about Valestine stuff?" Caleb asked.

"Not exactly."  Ashton sighed and looked away. "I mean, do you think I obsess too much?" he asked.

"Yeah" Caleb shrugged casually making Ashton visibly sad. "But it's okay. It's alright to get obsessed every now and then. You can't always not let stuff, especially something like this, not bother you." 

"Still, we are in this mess because I was too curious," Ashton sighed.

"No, we are in this mess because I took a wrong approach" Caleb corrected.

"Because of me," Ashton pointed out.
