The two men summoned chairs to take their place on either side of Ashley, able to somewhat relax now that they knew she was safe. Leaving Moko to rest just above her head, they held her hands in theirs and tried to get as comfortable as possible, ready to wait until she was awake. Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long. Not even a few minutes after they were settled, Ashley began to stir. They held their breath as her eyes fluttered open, her gaze roaming the room until it landed on them.
