Summer Can’t Wait

Galen looked out the window. It was already past noon, and there was still no word from Ashleigh.

The guard at the gate had reported Landon’s arrival twenty minutes ago, but no one else. Even the scouts didn’t report having seen anyone coming.

He was feeling nervous.

There was no way this conversation would go smoothly, but he hoped they could at least find a way to talk it out and listen to each other. That he could help Ashleigh understand why he had to do this.

On top of his concerns about speaking with Ashleigh, he felt like something else was happening around him. A foreboding feeling. He looked out the window and saw that the streets below were almost empty.

Strange for the middle of the day.
