Took me forever to find this post again. Forgot to link the completed prompt here! #84-

Glad you liked it. Did my best to do your prompt Ash proud. 😂

Maybe he was hungry?

All of the above.

Glad you liked it.

Something like that!

Yes, they were going to be separate chapters at first, but I ran out of time and energy. I've many stressful situations to sort out in real life starting Monday (today) involving disputes, lawyers, and why l can't afford therapy. So, I did what I could before matters became worse. Finishing AMT was very much a 'now or never' feeling.

This was the last chapter for this one, but you can imagine how Ash acted the mother hen with Ashley, not wanting to give his daughter away...while Cove paid close attention to how they saw Ijon more and more over the years and how he supported Ashley on her journey of becoming a psychologist. Eventually the drama simmered down when Ashley explained they were moving merely 10 minutes away. And it's also safe to say the men will see a lot of their grandson Asher.

I'm glad you think so. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Though our wedding ceremony was a simple affair—just legal papers, an exchange of rings, and a handful of witnesses—the reception transformed into an extravaganza beyond anything I had imagined. Our procession featured all our friends and family: the Barrens, Leslie, and the Butlers. Cove's great-aunt, the woman who raised him, even flew in to represent the Mitchells. My work colleagues also joined us, including both my former and current bosses, who seemed to be getting along a little too

Yes, it's another story that started more as a joke and then became serious somehow. But, I'm relieved to finally have it mostly mapped out. I mean, I said the same for this one and I still had to keep re-weaving it.

Oh, those men learned their lesson about keeping Ashley in the loop. 🤣 And Ashley won't ever give them that kind of a scare ever again. I seem to revisit "story worlds" whenever I write, so we might see them again even after the end. After this one, I think I'll work on wrapping up a story about a younger man and his unresolved family troubles that has taken me years to resolve (Gender Bender in a Blue Blender).

It's funny that you mentioned that because I really did briefly think of tossing whipped cream or chocolate syrup in the mix. But, since they were picking up Ashley, that'd have been a bigger mess to clean up. But, I wouldn't put it past them to use edibles in their play. And the others hadn't really failed the test, it was more of a way for Ashley to compare the love others had for her in comparison to her mother. Ash being the last test gave Ashley the guts to let her mother go, because up until that moment Ash had never failed her, in her eyes.

Glad you've liked it so far

Not quite yet. There is a bit more.

When I suggested celebrating after work, I genuinely believed we'd be sharing good news. Brit's reaction caught me off guard—her excitement evaporated, replaced by disbelief. "You're turning it down?" she asked, her brows knitting together. "Yeah, I've got something else in mind for work," I admitted, guilt prickling beneath my words. "Wait, he's leaving us?" Brit gestured to Michael, her confusion turning to concern as she tried to process the news. "Not us. His shitty career," M

Either she's an old soul or her young soul became old after all she's gone through.

That scenario played differently every time Ashley brought someone with her. Mini-me was comparing them all, including Leslie. But, it probably still stung either way. The way that @LunaM.described it best was "ripping off the band-aid in one go rather than tugging it off gradually." That goodbye was Ashley ripping that band-aid off.

That's kind of how it felt writing it. @LunaM.was my witness and collaborator on this one.

I was sulking the entire drive back. No doubt Cove used my "birthday gift" as a means to distract me, but didn't realize it would work so well. Lately, we seemed as playful—and immature—as we'd been in our twenties. "What would you like me to order for lunch, love?" He asked after pulling into the driveway. "Lunch?" I asked, my attention finally shifting. "Your birthday, your choice. We'll need the energy later if I'm going to be dessert," He added, silver eyes glinting with misch

Couldn't have described it better myself! Yes, and he's also finally being honest and vocal with Cove instead of totally avoiding since on a subconscious level, his trust in him has grown and grown.
-
Ha ha! You caught it. Cove was mostly joking around, but Ash did indeed say he'd at least commit to next year. 😂

The day's not fully over yet. 👀

Success? 😂
