Gwendolyn bobbed her head. “I hope so.””

someone who loves him, discovering that he sided with Evelyn feels like a betrayal, and forgiveness doesn’t come easily. However, Asher has been remorseful for his actions. He has punished himself, inflicted harm upon himself, and carried the weight of regret in an effort to seek your forgiveness over the past year. He may not be skilled with words, which is why he struggled to face you and express his guilt. But when he took that bullet for you on the island, it was a powerful testament to his love for you. It showed that he chose you over Evelyn. I understand that he felt indebted to Evelyn’s mother for saving his
