Ashton held my hand and reassured me, “Don’t brood over it. Have a good rest when we get home, alright?”

I nodded. Then, I looked at him and commented, “In books, it often portrays that a man would do anything for the woman he loves. Why don’t I see that happening in real life?”

Did he not know that an emotional wound hurt more than a physical one?

I shook my head.

Chuckling softly, Ashton emphasized his point. “Well, it shows that we can’t trust everything in books.”

Feeling resigned, I kept quiet.
