Le Marais – (Chapter: To the French!)
Ashley was leaning against the kitchen counter, just staring at the vinyl as it lay there. She looked up, to find Elly staring at her. It was too fake to smile, pretend that everything was ok. Nothing was ok, and both of them knew it. They shared all of this in a glance, and then Elly went back to making sure that Alex was eating his breakfast.
Ashley let her. She also let her get him ready for the day. The little girl was doing her best to think of something else and Ashley knew it. As much as she would have loved to busy herself, try and find anything and everything to take her mind off this, she knew she was going to have to be the glue that held this family together. Only she didn’t know if she was strong enough.
The doorbell rang, and Ashley answered it. As expected, Gray was on the doorstep, looking miserable with his hands shoved in his gray slacks pockets.
“Hey,” she said, standing aside to let him in.
“Hey,” he replied. “How are you?”
She raised her eyebrows and he laughed with no humour.
“Yeah, me too,” he said. As he looked around the very neat room Ashley caught his question before it was even asked,
“They’re getting ready. Elly seems quite insistent on helping Alex this morning.”
“Aah.”
In a way, Ashley found that it was almost amusing how much they could read each others minds, her and Gray. Spencer’s ex’s, a strange meeting of the minds. She made him coffee, and he spent enough time at their house for Ashley to know exactly how he liked his taken.
They drank in silence, waiting for the kids to emerge. They did so, looking thoughtful, or sad. Ashley couldn’t decide which but she just smiled at them, a half smile.
Elly signed, “Are you going to the hospital?”
Ashley nodded. “Not just yet, she said, signing back. But we will.”
“I’m coming,” the little girl signed with fervent determination. Ashley raised an eyebrow,
“Elly,” Ashley had nothing to say,
“I’m coming,” the girl reiterated. “I want to see mom.”

So I’ve been patiently waiting…okay so maybe not so patiently…okay, I was pretty much stalking the website to look for an update from you. My heart leapt with joy when I saw your update. I’m still really sad for Ashley but now I’m sad for Elly, Alex, and even Gray too. Poor Elly, with all her wisdom, knows her mother is not okay. As for the other part of the short, how cool is it that Spencer falls in love with Ashley even in her coma-induced dream? At least, that’s where I assume this is heading. So thanks for making me happy but please PMS!
