A bit later

When the door opens, Ethan and Ashley both look over.

A familiar blonde woman stands in the entry, spotting the pair quickly. It's Sam, and from this angle, Ethan can see her properly for the first time in years. She's short as ever, literally, and hasn't seemed to grow at all since the last time he saw her. At least height-wise. Her chest is huge, much bigger than the last time he saw her, which gives her the illusion of being plump on first glance.

As she makes her way over, her face is a weird, twisted marriage of emotions. "Ethan," she give him a look over, "You get paid and immediately go out drinking?"

Ethan starts to protest but stifles himself for a moment to think. "I'm just here to meet up with Charlie."

"And he found me instead," Ashley chimes in, giving Sam a small smirk.

Sam gives Ashley a curious look. "You two... Are friends?"

"Mhm," Ashley's smirk turns into a smile, "Still getting to know each other."

{if Ashley Sex=true}Ethan tries not to give anything away with his expressions. He doesn't think Sam needs to know much more.{endif}Looking at her face, Ethan sees something of surprise on Sam's face.

"Hm," Sam takes a seat, her blue eyes taking in Ethan in a slightly different way now, "Well, a friend of Ashley's is a friend of mine." She smiles, a Ethan suddenly feels a bit of barely-felt tension ease.
