You shouldn't sneak up on me.

[He's holding his jaw where she hit him, eyes watering a bit.]

Right. Next time I'll loudly announce I'm being you.

[She makes a face, moves over to check him out]

At least I didn't claw you, that's plus. [Peering she looks at him]

You'll live.

Yeah, I'm not big on the clawing so that's a plus.

[Lets out a dramatic sigh.]

Suppose I will. How are you feeling, by the way?

[she smiled at him and then shrug]

A little normal every day, you're the first people I hit in awhile.

Now I feel all kinds of special. But I'm glad you're feeling better. I... I was really worried about you, Ash.

Me too. [She frowned]

Can you tell me how mom is? I'm dying to know.

Your mom is... your mom. I think she suspects something, though. James and her were talking a few weeks ago and she was upset. Something about hearing your voice outside.

She did hear me and then I fleed, deciding to come here to see you.

I want to ease this on her, I know my style is just to show up, but...I just... Tell her I'm okay?

That explains what I heard between Nikola and her.

And I will. Promise. [And now he's going to give Ashley a hug since he missed her.]

[She hugs him back tightly] Tell her I'm sorry and I'll see her soon.

[He softly kisses her temple and nods.] I will.

[she smiled to the kiss, slightly blush some] Don't get all mushy on me, Zimmerman!

How is everyone else?

[He laughs] Yes, ma'am!

Everyone else is fine. James is living at the OCS now and Nikola is still stealing your mom's wine. Henry and Biggie are still themselves. Not a whole lot has changed, really.

Good, I'm pleased. [smiles as she pulls back from him.]

[He returned her smile.]

It's going to be nice to have you back.

I won't be back for awhille, I have a lot of making up to do and.... [she didnt' trust herself, she was sadden by hurting the people she loved.]

Understandable. Don't stay away for too long, okay?

I won't, I...I need to make me right first and you have to come see me, plus, I want my bike.
