Re: Ocean's: Ash & Sam
Somehow, the conversation about Neil didn't seem to be one that Sam wanted to pursue, so Ash didn't say anything more about that, instead giving a nod at the comment about family. "More important than I realized when I was younger." Maybe if she had realized things then, things might have turned out differently. Maybe she wouldn't have met Alexander, maybe she never would have gotten pregnant. But things went as they did, and unfortunately, life didn't come with a rewind button to take any of it back.
When Sam said she liked him, though, Ash couldn't help the smile. "You gonna tell me more? How did you meet? Does he treat you well? Is he hot?" The questions were rattled off rapid-fire, and Ash gave a warm smile at the compliment to her son. "The cutest," she responded after a moment, letting out a laugh before she reached over to swipe a fry to dip it in the syrup herself. A long sigh escaped her as she reached up to tuck an errant strand of black back behind one ear.
