Dalton. I was standing leaning on the dock looking out at the tree. I knew I needed to wake her, we needed to talk and see where things went from there. if she wanted me gone I'd leave. I wouldn't hold it against her if she needed time to process this information. I won't ruin her birthday. I felt two arms come around me and I intertwined our fingers sighing out as I looked at her small hand in mine. " you left me" she pouted sleepily. " sorry needed to move around a bit" " mm" she hummed back as she rested against me. I flicked the cigarette I had " we need to talk Ashley" she let go of my hand backing away " that doesn't sound good" I shook my head pushing up off the deck. " yeah it isn't I guess I don't know it's just something we need to talk about" she nodded " here or?"
