I nodded and smiled bleakly. After another thirty minutes of conversation, the voice on the other end of the line got softer and softer. She was probably getting sleepier by the minute.

A while later, I heard Ashton’s deep, low voice over the phone. “She has fallen asleep. I’ll send her back to her room first—wait for me to come back!”

“Have you washed up yet?”

I shut my eyes and nodded my head hastily. “Of course, I have.”

I heard him suck in a deep breath on the other end of the line. After a short pause, he asked, “Can’t what?”
