Chapter 66 

“Ashley hurry up you’re going to be late for school!”  Mom shouted from down stairs. I sighed looking at my  reflection one last time in the mirror before going  downstairs. 

Arden was already seated on one of the stools beside the  island. A plate full of pancakes and bacon. Dad was  seated beside him. Both quiet as they ate.

When I had left that room, it had felt like the weight on  my shoulders had been lifted, disappeared. I felt strong.  And when I walked into Blake’s arms and buried my face  

in his shirt as he wrapped his protective arms around me,  I knew I had done the right thing.
