Ashleigh couldn't remember the last time she'd entertained three separate visitors in one day — she wasn't usually that social. Though, 'entertained' might be a tad generous. She'd had a panic attack at Axel, more or less, and Aisling had had to come pick up the pieces. Not very entertaining for either of them. She'd told Asher to come late, and she knew that if she wanted him to he would spend the night. She was already in her pyjamas from earlier, and a nice thick dressing gown to keep out the slight chill she still felt. Her body ached, worse than it usually did after her Tuesday night ballet class, and Aisling's parting words had been to remind her to eat. She hadn't had anything since the soup and coffee at mid-morning.
Which is why, when Asher arrived, she was spreading peanut butter on one slice of toast while a jar of honey sat waiting to complete the other. She started, ever so slightly, when he apparated in with a crack like dry twigs breaking, but managed to otherwise keep her composure. "Just in time," she said. "Do you want peanut butter, honey or both?" Even though she wasn't fine, even though she needed him right then she couldn't just give in to that. She was a grown woman now, not a frightened little girl whose brother's arms could protect her from anything and everything. He had a life of his own and if she was going to impose on it by making him sleep at her place she could at least feed him in return.
