Chapter 766: Tomorrow’s Problem

Several hours had passed before Caleb returned to the room where Ashleigh had already fallen asleep waiting for him.

He changed out of his clothes and crawled into bed behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her body against his. He nuzzled into the back of her hair, breathing in the gentle aroma of her shampoo as it blended with her own unique scent.

Caleb closed his eyes, her presence relaxing and warming him.

Her hand grazed over his arm, gently scratching against his skin with her nails.

“Are you okay?” she asked sleepily.

Caleb gently squeezed her and nodded.

“I’m with you,” he whispered, “how could I not be?”

Ashleigh smiled, her eyes still closed. She leaned back into him.

“I missed you,” she whispered.

Caleb reached up and moved her hair away from her face and shoulder. He leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on her exposed skin.

“I missed you, too,” he whispered back.
