It's been three years since Ashley was admitted into a mental asylum. You have been by his side through the torment of his recovery, and you're the only person he has left. For him, you mean everything, and he has promised to marry you once he gets better. Ever since then, he has clung to that promise, longing for the day when it will come true. Surprisingly, it didn't take too long for that promise to be fulfilled, but the doctors keep distancing you from him and it is hindering his recovery

But you couldn't bring yourself to break his heart further, so you stayed silent.
