Re: Shepard and Ashley and Rawdon
Ashley laughed and shook her head. "I'll try not to. But, do you want to hear something a bit ridiculous?" She looked around and then leaned in. "I am roughly the same age as my own grandfather." She chuckled. It was still crazy.
"She's not like that. Even if you were just friends, she'd have been there for you." Though the fact that she was there the entire time spoke volumes.
The next thing he said made her beam. "It really is. The staff do such a great job with the upkeep." She cleared her throat. "I should probably say thank you, huh?" It was still hard to believe that it was her house as well now.
