Chapter 152

• So I went with my instinct. I held Ashlyn's head and pulled her to me. Then gently, I kissed her forehead and stroked her scalp. "We'll figure it out, Ash. What happens, happens."
• She sighed, clearly not satisfied with the answer. We'd danced around our attraction to one another for over a year without ever really talking about the way we felt for each other. She had been off-limits as Taylor's good friend and I'd locked away my emotions towards her for much of the time I'd known the gorgeous supermodel. Now that we were faced with a situation that might permanentlyl force those emotions to the surface, I didn't know how I'd react.
• Ashlyn exhaled and then took a deep breath. And then she turned to my wife and moved their hands together. "I was jealous of you, Taylor. I've always been envious of you and your life. And I idolized you growing up in the modeling world."
