Chapter 57 Asher

• Another usual night of me working late. So much additional work to do with Caleb on Daddy duties while Eden was on bed rest. Though listening to his tales of his mate being restricted to bed, she was far from an ideal patient, I definitely think I had it easier with additional work! Poor Caleb sounded knackered and ready to pull his hair out. I think it is safe to say both Caleb and Eden were ready for this little bundle of joy to arrive, and soon!
• Sitting at my desk in my office, I knew I would be there for a few more hours, so I had wanted a coffee, though I had run out of coffee in my office. So, a much needed wander to the kitchen had been needed. Stretch my legs too. However, one person i did not expect to see was Bailey wandering the corridors too... (well no, that is a lie, I would not expect to see anybody because nobody was in the packhouse at this hour, but that is beside the point). I had expected her to be tucked up safely in her room by now. But, her room had minimal facilities, like many of the packhouse rooms, so perhaps she needed a drink?
• “Bailey?” I called out to her, and saw her visibly jump a little at my words, making me smile. So much for being aware of everything around you as a werewolf. Seems this one was off in another world. It was a good job it was only me. It was only as she turned to look at me, and I got a little closer that something caught the light of the corridor lighting. Tears. I was sure of it. Had she been crying? Had someone upset her? “Have you been crying?” I found myself asking, though I know in truth it was nothing to do with me, and I doubted she would want to tell me either.
