You and Ash have a crazy amount of history.

After the whole thing with your mom and the documentary last year, (too long of a story to tell right now,) you haven't spoken. Ash went away back to England, and you stayed in New Hampshire.

You thought everything was over forever, seeing as neither of you are too cut out for long-distance. Ash clearly had some other ideas, though. He's just gotten accepted into film school at Dartmouth, so he's real close to you.

You don't know yet, of course, and Ash has made plans to surprise you.

You've just gotten home from a day of shopping your mom and Carter (very suspiciously) forced you to go on. When you get to your bedroom and open the door, Ash is sitting on your bed criss-cross.

''Hello, love. I didn't break in, don't worry. Rachel and I planned all this.'' Ash explains awkwardly. He's wearing one of his weird outfits, as usual: A blue sweater with bunches of grapes on it paired with neon green flare jeans, so bright you have to blink to let your eyes adjust to them.
