“I have never seen him sleep so deeply. Not even when he was just a babe. The slightest sound would wake him." Surprise rippled through me as the hand under mine remained relaxed and still. "You knew him then?" I asked, completely unable to picture Ash as a babe. "I knew his parents. I called them my friends, and I call Ash one of my own," he answered, head straightening. His gaze caught mine and held it. "I think I will call you one of my own." "Because you've given him peace.”
