The return to Summer had been put on hold after Roman’s unexpected visit to Winter.
Caleb called Fiona, updated her, and told her that he and Ashleigh needed to stay for at least a few more days. He wanted to get the defense system up and running and ensure that Galen and Bell were safe and secure.
But he also knew that Ashleigh was struggling with Axel’s announcement and hoped that she would take the time to work things out with her brother.
“Mom says that everything is running on schedule,” Caleb said as he stepped back into their room.
He and Ashleigh were staying with Bell and Galen. Her parents had offered to host them, but he had felt more at ease staying with his brother.
“Training has increased, and the production of weapons and armor is better than expected.”
Caleb awaited her response, but Ashleigh remained silent, staring out the window.
“Ash?” he called to her.
She didn’t respond.
