Once the newlyweds had finally pulled themselves apart, they went about greeting their guests and introducing Ashleigh to all those that hadn’t had a chance to meet her yet. They received congratulations and blessings, followed by questions about when they would be bringing a new heir to the Summer throne.
Caleb always managed to direct the conversation away from the subject as he felt the slight panic in Ashleigh each time it was brought up.
After finishing their rounds, they retreated to their cabana, taking a seat on the couch and relaxing in each other’s arms as they watched their people enjoy the festivities.
“This is beautiful,” Ashleigh said quietly, looking out at the decorations and the tables.
It was simple and yet lovely, classy. Understated but inviting and comforting.
“I was nervous about this party,” she said.
Caleb looked at her, a soft smile on his lips as she offered her worries without him asking first.
