Chapitre 131: She Feels Welcome

Ashleigh woke to feel rested for the first time in a long while. She stretched out like a cat in the sunshine.

“Good morning,” his voice called from the small sitting area of his room.

Ashleigh glanced over at Caleb. He raised his cup to her.

“Coffee?” she asked.

“Two sugars and a splash of milk,” he smiled.

Ashleigh sat up, giving him a confused look.

“How did you…?”

Caleb laughed.

“I noticed you didn’t have your phone with you, so I asked Galen to call Bell and let her know you made it here,” he said. “She was pretty surprised to hear you had left, but that didn’t stop her from leaving some instructions on how to properly care for you.”

“How to care for me?” Ashleigh laughed as she got up from the bed. “Am I some house pet you’re taking care of for a friend?”

“I do find you adorable, and I would very much like to pet you,” Caleb commented with a lift of his brow.

Ashleigh felt the light blush creep over her face as she walked across the room toward him.
