When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Summer will be twelve in seven years. These seven years will pass in the blink of an eye!” I said. I couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions about it.

Ashton smiled and reached out to take my hand. He patted the back of my hand and replied, “People have to pay for their mistakes.”

The driver then parked the car beside the road. The place was quite desolated so there were hardly any cars that passed by the place. We didn’t have to worry that there would be a lack of parking space too.

Ashton could basically walk on his own now and as long as there weren’t any large movements, there wouldn’t be any issues.

There was a rather small door at the side of the prison which was only allowed for the family members of the prisoners.

Since we had informed the people working there before we arrived, an officer was waiting for us by the door. At the sight of us, he stepped aside and greeted, “Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller.”

Ashton nodded at him and held my hand as we followed the officer.

We immediately saw a rather miserable-looking path after we went through the door. A training field similar to a military training field was on both sides of the path, followed by a building where a police officer who guarded the prisoners was stationed there.

Before we even got to the visiting hall, the officer leading us seemed to know about Ashton’s injury as he started to slow down his pace.

After half an hour, we finally got to see Jared. He sat at the opposite of the thick glass partition. Both of his hands were cuffed, and he had a haggard look on his face.

However, his gaze was sharp and fierce as ever. He took his seat and stared at Ashton with pursed lips, but he didn’t reach for the receiver.
