Chapter 170: Echoed Into the Night

When Clara and Corrine spoke of a banquet in her honor, Ashleigh had expected something similar to the full moon banquet she had experienced on her first visit to Summer. Food and light chatter. More formal and organized than any celebration she had known.

Which is why, when she arrived at the location of the event, she was shocked to see an outdoor venue complete with a dance floor, bar, and full dinner service. Some servers were also performers, some magicians, some dancers, and some very flexible people.

She saw two large tents and immediately got curious about what she might see inside. But found her path blocked by a very sexy man in a wheelchair.

Caleb adjusted his tie as they locked eyes, and he smiled at her with a blend of warmth and fire that had her biting down on her lower lip.

Seeing him there before her, she suddenly felt the strain of not seeing him for the better part of three weeks.
