Corrine ensured that Wyatt and Axel had kept Granger busy for one reason or another in those two days, allowing Ashleigh time alone.
When she heard about Renee, Ashleigh had wanted to go to the hospital right away. Still, Renee was on restricted access due to the nature of her stay. And Bell was unavailable, having thrown herself into Renee’s treatment.

“Long time no see, wife,” Granger called behind her as she made her way home.
“I’m not your wife,” Ashleigh snarled. Neither looking back nor stopping to talk to him.
“Soon enough.”
Ashleigh clenched her jaw in both anger and disgust at his words.
“Not now, nor ever,” she replied through gritted teeth.
“Well, that’s not very nice,” he smiled after her.
Granger sped up his pace, quickly moving in front of her.
“Ash,” he began.
But she merely pushed past him.
