S H A Y It had been two days since Troian, Lucy, Benzo, Ashley and five-year-old Athena left for their trip to Santa Monica. Everything in Sasha's brain is on panic mode though, since Ashley has never left her sights since Avery's death. I tried my best to calm her down and so far, nothing has worked. Today might be different though. It was one of her scarce day offs today, and I decided to take her somewhere special for the night. Nothing fancy, just a picnic in the park. We haven't done much couple-y stuff lately anyway. The early morning sun took over Los Angeles, as well as our home. Through our windows, the sun looked like an under-cooked egg yolk, only a shade of yellow brighter. I was guessing it was around seven, since the light was neither too bright nor too dark. Just enough
