Like you said, sometimes it's better for things to be left unknown. I mean, you wouldn't trade your life for anything, I bet. If all of these things hadn't happened, you wouldn't be the same." Chloe paused for a second before quietly saying, "And I love who you are." She let her words sink in then said, "The kids will learn that in time. It's just part of growing up."
Asher agreed with her, he didn't know what to say at that point. He just sat there, he found it quite comforting to have Chloe's hand on his arm. He took a deep breath in and looked up at her.
I just hope none of the kids are hurt, I couldn't bear it. he though, thinking of the current situation at the school. If he hadn't kept his promise to Chloe he'd already had stormed down there to the school.
