When There Is Nothing Left But Love

After I collected myself, I could finally talk about Summer’s decision calmly. “Are you really going to support Summer on opening a bar?”

Ashton was not some sly fox that played around with his words. He usually meant what he said, so him not denying my question was a sign of his support for Summer.
