Kapitel 183: A Freakin Duck

Ashleigh had spent the past week in meditations and guided training. She was tired of Saul’s face and even more tired of his voice.

She was lucky he had been willing to let her go home to sleep. The first two days after she had returned from Summer, he had not been so lenient.

It was to be expected.

It had been a long time, but it was necessary.

She and Bell had taken to having sleepovers again. Ashleigh hadn’t realized how much she missed this time with her friend.

They joked, snacked, made fun of Axel, and watched movies. It was wonderful.

Bell would be married in two days, and Ashleigh would follow as soon as she could.

She had thought that five months would be too soon when Caleb had told her. But with each passing day, she hoped for the time to get shorter.

Her phone rang. She smiled when she saw his name.

“Hello,” she said.

“Hello, yourself,” he smiled.

“I miss you,” she said.

“I miss you more,” he replied. “I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”
