Axel stuck around only for a few more minutes. The emotion in the room was too much for him to handle at the moment.
“He’s different,” Bell said after he had left the room.
“What do you mean?” Ashleigh asked.
“There is something that has changed with him.”
Ashleigh looked at Bell curiously.
“Bell…” she said. “Are you suddenly getting interested in my brother two days before your wedding?”
“Shut up!” Bell growled, slapping Ashleigh’s arm.
Ashleigh laughed.
“She’s right,” Corrine smiled. “Axel, he has been different. Calmer.”
“It’s the lack of sugar,” Ashleigh said.
Corrine and Bell both looked at her.
“What?” she said. “He hasn’t been eating like a toddler the last two days!”
“That’s true,” Bell agreed. “I offered him one of my chocolates, and he didn’t want it.”
“Now that I think of it, I haven’t seen him eating a candy in days,” Corrine said.
