When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Feeling a little worried at the sight of Summer’s flushed face, I took out my phone and called Jared.

“Hello, Scarlett,” the man sounded cold and distant.

There was a moment of silence from the other end of the phone. Then, he replied, “Alright.”
