With Galen still in Winter for another week, Caleb was even busier than usual.
After their date, he and Ashleigh were only able to spend a few minutes together each day. Just enough time to say hello and then goodbye again.
But today, he didn’t even get to have that.
He had been in meetings and conferences since before the sun was in the sky. It was almost down again, and he had just gotten a free moment. He knew Ashleigh was at the training grounds, but she had explicitly asked him to stay away while she was there.
Caleb still didn’t know why, but he suspected it had to do with his mother.
He walked into his office and shut the door. There was only an hour before his next meeting, he wondered if he could sneak in a brief nap. Caleb fell down into his couch face first. It was comfortable
enough, and it was unlikely anyone would bother him at this time.
As he closed his eyes, his phone rang.
“Ugh…” he groaned.
