When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

“Babe, what’s up with you? Why weren’t you picking up?”

 

I felt slightly embarrassed. “Oh, I had something on. What’s the matter? Are you here?”

“I’ve reached a long time ago. I’m at the hotel now, but I don’t know the exact location of your base. Why don’t you send someone over to pick me up?”
