Chapitre 719: Three Days

Stepping inside the room, Ashleigh turned and carefully closed the door behind her. Trying her best not to make a sound.

She glanced back toward the bed. Caleb lay on his side with his back to her. Ashleigh sighed in relief, afraid that he had already woken.

‘…you need to make that call… today.’

Alice’s parting words whispered in her ear. She was right. Ashleigh knew that. She knew she should have called days ago, but it was too late to change that. All she could do was make the call now.

Swallowing her guilt and fear, Ashleigh hurried over to the desk and opened the top drawer where she had left her cell phone. She looked down at it and back over her shoulder at Caleb.

She longed to live in this bubble where only the two of them existed. But the problem was, it wasn’t real. They weren’t the only ones that existed, and she wasn’t the only one that missed him. Nor was she the only person he cared about.
