Ashton paced outside Luke's bedroom door for a while, knowing that Luke would still be asleep. Unless Ashton woke him, Hemmings wasn't usually awake before eleven.

He watched Luke in his sleep for a short while before shaking him awake.
He'd never been so nervous to finish something he'd started - there had never been so much self-doubt in his mind.
