Caleb put the large suitcase in the trunk of his car when he heard a loud voice. "Wait"! Ashton came down running to him. It's been several months since he came back from the tour and Caleb not only decided to enroll full time, but he also got accepted to Willmount University.
His family was pretty alright with his moving out, especially after Caleb ensured that the likelihood of running into the supernatural was less. Of course he didn't tell them about his encounter with Karolyn there.
As for our mate duo, they tried to accept the upcoming change in their lives. That doesn't mean it was easy on any of them. Caleb had a mix of both excitement and sorrow, but he had promised that they will talk everyday via link. Somehow distance never affected their link, which was comforting to both of them.
