“We should get you cleaned up,” Corrine said.
Ashleigh nodded.
“Do you want to come to my room?” Corrine asked.
Ashleigh swallowed. The room she shared with Caleb was just upstairs. Her clothing, her favorite shampoo, and body wash. They were still there. But the idea of entering that room without him made the tightness in her chest even more prominent.
“Yes,” Ashleigh whispered.
Corrine nodded.
“It’s just down the hall,” she said, turning to lead the way.
Ashleigh stood near the front door, waiting as Corrine filled the bathtub. When the sound of the running water stopped, Ashleigh’s heart jumped.
“Come on in, darling,” Corrine called out.
Ashleigh hesitated, but after taking a deep breath, she went to the bathroom. The room smelled of lavender, it was warm, and the tub was filled with bubbles.
“I could have taken a shower,” Ashleigh said quietly.
Corrine tilted her head.
