Are you going to keep him alone forever, even though he’ll never remember you?” My eyes burned, guilt flooding my stomach like acid. I didn’t know the answer to that. I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to leave Ash alone. If I’d be able to sit and watch him find someone and fall in love with them. Watch him give someone else his soft smiles and sweet kisses. His body. Everything inside me rebelled at the thought. He was mine. He was mine. My Ash. My oak king. And I was his. I would always be his. No one else’s.
