Leaning back into his seat, he exhaled slowly, trying to shake off the weight pressing down on him. Across the table, Catherine sat two seats away, buttering her toast with a smug expression. The morning’s menu was a traditional English breakfast. “And a good morning to you,” she said, taking a slow, deliberate bite, clearly amused by his state. Asher barely spared her a glance, as if just now registering her presence. “Morning,” he muttered, his voice gruff as he set his phone down on the table. Catherine’s lips curved into a smirk. “So… how’s the little devil? Still no sign of making an appearance?” she asked, mockery lacing her tone. Asher’s expression darkened.

    A few minutes passed, but Asher didn’t respond. He only stared at Catherine, his chest rising and falling as he tried to steady his breath. “Do you love her, Asher?” Catherine repeated, her voice firmer this time. The silence between them stretched, each second tightening around her chest like a vice. She hated that Asher was keeping his silence for this long. Asher knew he didn’t love Dahlia.
