Chapter 151: Here, Like This

“Welcome back to Winter,” Corrine smiled brilliantly at Caleb and Galen.

They each thanked her.

Wyatt stood beside her without a word. He looked up at Caleb but could not maintain eye contact for long.

Caleb found himself forcing a smile.

‘Ashleigh was right. He looks tired,’ he thought. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was something else going on.

He thought about suggesting to Bell a few tests that she might run or offering to send some equipment. But he caught himself.

‘He wouldn’t accept it anyway,” he smiled.

Caleb told himself he only felt hurt for Ashleigh’s sake.

“The official ceremony isn’t for two days,” Corrine continued. “But because of your bond with Ashleigh, we decided to ask you to join us for the Goddess’ blessing at the full moon.”

“Thank you for the honor,” Caleb replied.

Corrine looked at Ashleigh with a nod. Caleb looked up at Ashleigh with a question.
