Re: Lyra/Ash
Ash nodded slowly and then sat back, moving away from her. It was like that. Ash always made it clear he never really belonged to anyone, even though at times Sera considered him hers, she never really felt all that possessive over him. Only when it turns into an engagement that neither he nor his fiancee cared all that much for. Ash would do his duty as a husband to produce an heir, but as attractive as Bella was, some of her personality clashed pretty harshly with his.
"Right," was all he could say for now, his gaze looking out the window. He needed to remember that Lyra wasn't the type for casual. She was a girl who wanted the real thing and Ash wasn't sure he could ever give that to anyone. The "L" word was one he never entertained because it was never an option and it always sounded so messy. Feelings like that. It was the subject of a book. A fantasy.
