I was stunned. The next thing I knew, I was walking to the balcony. The moment I looked down, I saw Ashton standing in the rain by the lamppost downstairs.

Instantly, I was infuriated. “Are you crazy, Ashton?” Is he trying to torture himself by standing in the rain in the middle of the night?

But he chuckled. “You’re angry. Does that mean you’re worried about me?”
