A talk

"I wanted to talk about," she shrugs, "Us."

"Us?" Ethan saw this coming but holds back slightly. In his experience, letting a woman get what's on her chest off was the best course of action. And not just in conversations.

"If we're going to do this," she wiggles her finger back and forth between her and Ethan, "We should just do it."

Ethan raises a brow, "But what about Ch-"

"That," Ashley cuts him off, "Will be awkward, but we can manage it... Together..."

Ethan sighs. {if Charlie Sex=true}Not long ago Ashley had some very different thoughts on this.{endif} "Okay, so how do we-"

"The fare," she cuts him off again, "We can do it at the fare."

"Aha..." Ethan rubs the back of his neck, "So, we would just go together and, like, tell her?"

"Maybe," Ashley shrugs, "Something like that?"

Ethan feels a phantom bruise already. {if Charlie Sex=true} "But Charlie and I-"{endif}

"Just. Think about it." Ashley exhales. {if Charlie Sex=true} "I know you do... did it. We can sort that mess out later."{endif}

"Alright," Ethan sighs, feeling very conflicted, "I can do that at least."

"Thank you," Ashley smiles, letting out a small sigh.
