Chương 240: Under Your Eyes

I'd always had a weird insecurity about it. I knew the people in my life saw a city girl, not the active, outdoorsy girl I used to be. They'd laugh if I talked about it. I'd never wanted anyone to make fun of me about it and steal the joy of the idea. It had seemed like it was so far out of reach.

How much money had they put in my account? And how had they known where to deposit it?

The more I thought about the details here, the more nervous I got. And that added weight to Ash's nerves, made his concern seem more valid…

Every answer I got seemed to bring more questions.
