Chapter 61: This Can’t Happen

"Do you have something to tell me?"

I had almost forgotten how observant Ash was. He must have noticed how I'd been staring at him. "Don't hesitate, Sapphire. You know I always listen to everything you say."

After all, I was the one he was dating, not other people. It would be pointless to listen to what others had to say when they had no part in our relationship.

"Hi, Mom," I greeted as I kissed her cheek.

"I'm ready," she answered, her tone firm. "I'm ready to tell you everything."

It felt like my world stopped for a moment. I sat beside her, and listened to my mom as she told me everything from her past.
