Ashton thought of many ways on how to interact with Connor. Usually he was not so bad with kids, or at least that was the case when he met the twins. But now? Things seem different. Connor literally ran away the moment he saw him.
Speaking of which, the more time he spends here the more things seem different to him. The people are older, the place is the same and yet so different. But meeting Connor, changed something. He is literally a new person to him. And seeing how grown up he is, it was hard not to feel stuck. It was as if someone shoved him in a time machine and made him travel to eight years in the future.
He wanted to explore more, to see what else has changed. Caleb had piled up work to attend to so he left and even though the twins were available, he didn't want to disturb them. He wanted to go somewhere quiet. Somewhere secluded and therefore he headed off for his old house.
