Chapter 777: This Much, I Could Do

“What were you and Peter talking about?” Caleb asked as he rested his chin on Ashleigh’s shoulder and wrapped his hands around her waist.

Ashleigh smiled and waved to Peter and Myka as they left the room.

“There were some concerning feelings coming off of you,” Caleb whispered, nuzzling against the side of her head. “I was worried.”

Ashleigh leaned back against him and let out a sigh.

“I’m all right,” she said softly, raising her hand to rest atop his. “It was a long overdue apology on my part. Luckily, Peter was willing to listen and far more generous than I would have been.”

Caleb smiled.

“Only to yourself,” he said.

Caleb pulled away and turned her to face him. He rested his hands on her hips and smiled at her tenderly.

“You are stubborn and hold a grudge,” he said.

Ashleigh raised an eyebrow.

“I hope this is going somewhere…”

Caleb laughed.
