Spoiled by the Silver Fox

In this world, Ashley was the only one who had ever told him that...when the urge to cry overcame, just allow it... She was the sole haven he could retreat to. Just rest if he was too tired, she used to tell him.

She once was his everything... He now lacked the courage to face her.

Not to mention meeting her gaze after all this elapsed time... He dreaded that her tenderness for him might have faded away.

If he did, he risked facing utter disillusionment.
