Emmaline bit her lip and sighed.
At this rate, she was going to chew her lip off.
"I don't need you to promise anything or profess anything or do anything," Layla's voice got carried by the wind but Emmaline heard her loud and clear, "But be honest with yourself and with him. Because when it comes down to it, he could really use someone like you."
What Emmaline had suspected after the Wrights' weekend party had just been confirmed.
Ashton's world wasn't just glitz and glamour, it was cutthroat and lonely.
Yet, he always gave her a smile when he saw her.
Emmaline's heart clenched a little when she thought about what would happen when the contract ended.
She would be back to living her own life, her mother would be healthy and she could continue chasing her dreams.
But Ashton?
He would be facing down all those awful people alone.
He would be dating some vapid supermodel who used him or cheated on him.
