Chapter 66

Ashley woke up from his nightmare, breathing heavily and covered in cold sweat.

The sky was already bright, signaling that morning had arrived, but he felt anything but comfortable.

The day he lost Sawyer forever had kept his nightmares for the past few weeks.

That day still felt like yesterday, causing his body to shiver uncontrollably.

If only he could turn back time...

If only he had been faster...

If only he could have stopped Aiden...

If only he hadn't been so stupid as to stay silent...

His mind was filled with impossible what-ifs.

Everything had already happened, everything was already over, leaving behind endless regret.

He couldn't save Sawyer.

With his own eyes, he saw how Sawyer died so tragically.

And he only then realized that Sawyer had loved him for a long time.

Everyone knew it, except him.

He was the last person to know Sawyer's true feelings for him...

He was really stupid.
