"Is everything alright?" Ashley asked, noticing my sudden stillness.

I turned to face her. "It's Jared."

Ashley stood up, concern on her face. "Do you want to let him in?"

"Alright. Do you want me to stay?"

"No, I'll handle this."

She nodded, carried her meal and walked to her room. After she left, I exhaled sharply, before pulling the door open.
