  1. Ash is indeed a wimp! 🤣 But, I worry more about his self-sabotaging nature at the moment.
  2. What we're not seeing yet is why Cove is so insistent in the first place.
  3. Ash will get where we want him to be...eventually. 😂
  4. Agreed! 🤣 He totally was.
  5. If Ash were thinking more clearly, he'd realize that the reason his dad ran into Cove at the market is because they all live and work in nearby zip codes.
  6. I woke from a dream where little Ashley and I baked together in matching kitten aprons. Everything felt calm until Cove's arms suddenly wrapped around me from behind, his lips brushing the back of my neck. The shock jolted me awake, stirring up a real memory I'd worked hard to bury—the morning before everything changed. Cove: Good morning, Ash. We hope you have a great day at work. Such obvious lies. I grumbled to myself as I ignored the text and got ready for another manic Monday. I d
  7. I definitely have to sneak that Ash=Rabbit analogy in. 🤣
  8. Cove wasn't the one that drew them together. He was just the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger. 😂
  9. LMAO!
  10. Exactly how Ash feels.

    Prologue

    It's set in the same "universe" as the story Tuesday Staff Meetings, but both stories aren't related save for a little cameo character.

    Prologue

    I do warn my stories are a little eccentric. 😂 But, it's hopefully an entertaining read, nevertheless.
  13. I mean, he just had a flash-forward of things no one can even predict. If that isn't his subconscious talking...not to mention, he already referred to Ashley as his mini-me. There's no going back after that.
  14. Cove: Good morning. I paced outside my apartment, heart pounding as I stared at the notification on my phone. My grip tightened, a knot of fear and anxiety twisting in my stomach. I couldn't bring myself to open the message, much less reply. If it were a workday, I would've had an excuse to delay—maybe even for five days. I could tell myself I was far too busy to respond, right? But deep down, I knew that wasn't the truth. Cove: Ashley made a drawing of you and asked me to sh
  15. Oh, THAT he is aware of for sure, his trigger, the M word...we'll see what happens, though.
  16. You know, he's kind of like a fly...who was enticed by the scent of a Venus flytrap and doesn't realize his legs are already stuck to the plant's mouth...
  17. "Bam and bam!" I heard my brother, Sage, say as he triumphantly discarded the last of his cards. "You can't just show up late and beat everyone," Siena huffed, frustration etched across her face as she started scooping up the scattered Phase 10 cards. I joined in, stacking them back into the tin. Siena had even helped little Ashley pick her sets, though the girl barely understood the rules. "I can't help it if I got lucky," Sage said. "The game is always more difficult when more than t
  18. I figured a conflicted Ash would fit. 😂
  19. I have zero control over what you hear as you read. Glad you're enjoying it so far, though!
  20. Glad you think so.
  21. So many Ds back to back!
  22. I know, right?
  23. "Our relationship can be anything you want, no strings attached if that's what you prefer," Cove said. His response reminded me exactly why I'd ended things with him in the first place. Cove always gave 150% in relationships, while I barely managed 25% these days. He'd always poured more into us, but it was never enough for me to give up my own vision for life just to fix things. A younger me would have jumped at Cove's offer. In our twenties, we painted the town red for four and a hal
  24. *dark chuckling* Oh? But I have.
  25. Chris! Yeah, this is one of my rare non-fantasy stories. It's a manifestation of my love of @Aditus and Prompt #84. 🤣
