Paula glared at the brunette. “Well I would love to meet her…do you have any other siblings that we should be aware of ?”

“Nope…just Kyla.”

“How bout you Spencer? Have you decided who you want to be your maid of honor?” Paula said looking at her daughter.

“Actually I was going to have Marco as my Best Man.” Spencer said smiling at Ashley.

“Oh that boy…are you sure you don’t want to find another person? I mean you could have one of your brothers be your Best Man…I’m sure they would love it…or Chelsea she could be your Maid of Honor.”

“I’ll think about it Mom…but for now I want to go with Marco…he’s just been so good to us.” Spencer said taking Ashley’s hand and squeezing.

“Alright I just thought I would help. How about your parents Ashley? What do they have to say about all this?”

Ashley quickly felt all kinds of emotions run through her. Sadness and disappointment over her dad and his death. Anger and bitterness towards her mother who had abandoned her.

“We haven’t told them yet.” Spencer quickly jumped in as she saw Ashley’s face drop.

“Oh…so we were the lucky ones who got to hear it first? How splendid.” Paula replied sarcastically.

“Ashley are you alright?” Arthur asked looking at the brunette with concern.

Ashley looked up at the group and nodded her head. She felt like her head would explode from all the constant memories and thoughts. “May I be excused?” Ashley asked softly.

“Sure.” Arthur said to the brunette.

Ashley left the table and made her way out the door to get some fresh air. Spencer watched her go and looked back down at her plate sadly.

“Was it something I said?” Paula asked feigning innocence.

Spencer glared at her mother. “Excuse me…I’m going to go check on Ashley.”

Arthur and Paula nodded as Spencer stood and headed out the door to the brunette. She exited the cabin and found Ashley sitting on the hood of the car. Ashley stared at the ground and didn’t move as she heard the footsteps of her fiancée approach.

Spencer sat next to the brunette and put her arm around her shoulders saying nothing. She didn’t know what she could tell the brunette to make her feel better so she opted for the comfort of silence. A slight drizzle began to fall on the girls while they sat together. Spencer heard a slight sniffle coming from the brunette.
