The vibrant colors of the world disappeared as Ashton’s hands gently covered my eyes, leaving me in utter darkness. Yet, I wasn’t afraid.

He was right there, his warmth more comforting than any light could ever be.

“Make a wish,” Ashton’s deep voice whispered near my ear, rich and resonant like the notes of a cello. “From now on, with me by your side, your wishes will come true.”

The soft music in the observation cabin wrapped around us, and my heart gradually began to relax, letting go of its tension.

He wanted me to make a wish, but I hesitated, unsure of what to wish for.

And now? What did I want?

I thought of my parents and their deaths. Slowly, I murmured, “I hope to find out the truth behind my parents‘ accident.”

“I’ll help with that,” Ashton said immediately, his voice steady and reassuring.

I couldn’t help but smile as I gently pulled his hands away from my eyes. “Then why bother making a wish when I could just tell you directly?”

“You wasted a perfectly good opportunity,” Ashton teased, tapping me lightly on the head.
