When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Lying in bed, I shook my head and replied, “Ashton, did you notice that Cameron and Zachary’s attitude toward us recently has changed?”

Briefly stunned, he looked at me. “How so?”

“Disregarding how they treated us with contempt previously, they were never as warm and friendly until recently. In fact, they seem to be overdoing it. For the life of me, I can’t think of what their objective of doing so is. Ashton, do you think that they are in the midst of plotting something?”

He was amused. “You’re just overthinking it. Perhaps, they just hope that you can let bygones be bygones. So that everyone can coexist in harmony.”

Is that possible?

Can rivals who are at each other’s throats make peace all of a sudden?

Impossible!

Sighing, I cupped my chin in annoyance before adding, “Ashton, was there any bad blood between you and Jared?”

He looked at me intently. “You have asked me this question twice.”

Frowning, I pursed my lips and didn’t utter another word.

He gazed deeply at me, “Do you suspect Jared?”

Loss for words, I looked at him in silence. “I just want to go through all the possibilities.”

He pursed his lips. “You don’t have to concern yourself with Jared. I know what I’m doing. For now, you should just rest.”
