Chapter 30

"I'm sorry... I should have talked to you properly back then. If I did then maybe things would be different than the way they are now," Ashley apologizes as she lowers her head.

Sean slowly outstretches his hand and place it above Ashley's, "It's fine, I understand that we have no choice back then. Especially considering the influence your parents have there. So please raise your head, Ash," Sean gently lifts her chin as his left hand gently squeezes her right hand.

"Sean..." Tears are now spilling from her eyes as she looks up to stare at him. All the memories they have together are rushing through her mind, as his familiar touch continues to linger on her hand.

"Shh... it's fine. Everything is fine now, Ash. Please stop crying, okay?" Sean gently whispers as he stands up to comfort Ash. He pulled her gently into a hug as he tries to reassure her, with his own tears also slowly spiling from his yes.
