Out of Chances

It was a lot of information to process, and every bit of it, Caleb needed to know.

Ashleigh and Clara agreed that it would be best to take a few days to let Ashleigh absorb all she had learned while she tried to find a chance to speak with Caleb about it.

She wanted to allow him the chance to read his father’s journal before moving forward.

Clara stayed a little longer, reviewing a few more minor details and sharing some light gossip about her progress with Nessa. Ashleigh was glad to hear they were strengthening their bond with each passing day.

Ashleigh sat back on the couch when she was alone again and took a deep breath. She glanced at the journal on the coffee table and wondered how Caleb would react to it.

Would he be glad to see his father’s handwriting? To listen to Cain’s words in his mind, and hear his voice? Would seeing that Cain was proud of him bring him peace? Or pain?

Ashleigh sighed.
