An unusual silence enveloped the entire room. Neither Ashton nor Elsa uttered a single word for quite some time. The silence made Elsa's heart beat faster. Nothing would change the love she had for Ashton in her heart but she was also worried.
Elsa very well knew the darkness of the world Ashton could possibly be a part of. She also knew how things worked there which always scared her.
"Like everyone, I have a dark side too." Pausing for a while, Ashton added, "I don't know what he told you but I can vaguely guess it. Neither is he one hundred percent wrong nor a hundred percent correct."
"I know you might be having many questions in your mind right now and it's completely normal of you to feel that way." Gently caressing her back, he stated, "I am not gonna lie to you but this is who I am and how things are meant to be. And it's not like I can't change things, I can but I don't want to."
