But They Stayed

As the coffee maker do it's job, Amber opened the faucet and splashed water on her face.

Ashton gave her a chance to cry, he knows her too well. She didn't give any sign and just bowed down to control her emotions but he knew.

She was sniffing as she kept washing her face, making sure that she was not getting her clothes wet at the same time.

When she was finally able to once again control her emotions, she finally closed the faucet and just in time a towel was handed over to her.

She stiffened at first but took it afterwards.

"Let me see your face," Ashton said.

To which she looked up at him after wiping the water off her face.

He sighed, her eyes were completely red and her nose as well. If she goes out now, those who didn't know will surely wonder.

It was a good thing that he told her to make coffee, that was already a good excuse.

"I know what you're thinking, I will do just that as well."
