Ash sighed, knowing this would be the first thing she would ask and was expecting it. It was what any normal person would surmise after his choice of words. He let the curtain fall once again, still on the fence about what he should say to her about what he was going through.<br/><br/>"No, no. I've done nothing wrong." he assured her, "I'm not sure how to explain it." A slight growl of frustration emanated from his throat and he sat up straight, turning to Rebecca. He decided to give her the choice.<br/><br/>"Listen, something happened to me. Something big. But, if you found out, you could be in danger. I don't think it's right for me to just tell you and you could get hurt because of it. I swear I've done nothing wrong, but there are people after me. People with power. If they found out you were involved, you might be targeted. To what extent, I don't know."<br/><br/>Ashton looked into her eyes and saw the confusion, yet realized he had made a mistake. He started to stand to leave.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I shouldn't involve you in this just because I'm a little lone..." he caught his tongue, "I'm sorry. I'll be going."
