When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Irritated, I was about to turn off my phone when another call came in. I frowned as I answered the call, “Are you still not satisfied with how miserable I am now, Ashton? Do you want to see me die?”

Feeling more irked, I had a strong urge to hang up immediately, but he added, “I’m downstairs.”

I was stunned. The next thing I knew, I was walking to the balcony. The moment I looked down, I saw Ashton standing in the rain by the lamppost downstairs.

Instantly, I was infuriated. “Are you crazy, Ashton?” Is he trying to torture himself by standing in the rain in the middle of the night?

But he chuckled. “You’re angry. Does that mean you’re worried about me?”

What the…

He’s crazy!

“You need to see a doctor, Ashton.” I hung up after saying that, a wave of frustration rising in me.
