Ashley entered her mansion to get the last of her things before Christine would put them up for sale.  She saw Rick and Kyla sitting on the living room sofa.  “We have a question to ask you,” Rick began.  Actually, it’s more Kyla’s question than mine.  Go, Ky.

“Since Rick and I got have been friends after our breakup, we thought that we could just pick things from where we left off, but it didn’t work out that way,” explained Kyla with a sigh.  When we went on a date, there was just no spark anymore.  I think I already know the answer to this question, but was it awkward for you and Spencer to be more than friends?

“Maybe you guys weren’t meant to get back together,” Ashley responded simply.  Some broken up couples are better off as friends.  As for Spencer and I beginning to date it wasn’t awkward at all.  I thought it might be, but it wasn’t at all.  I felt that everything that was missing in my life was in that very first kiss we shared on Spencer’s birthday.  It felt so right when I kissed Spencer.  I couldn’t believe that we hadn’t gotten together sooner.  I didn’t know how we hadn’t kissed before.  I knew then that my search was finally over.  A smile formed on Ashley’s lips as she thought about Spencer, however Rick and Kyla looked mortified.

“Really?” said Kyla.

“Yep,” Ashley replied with a smile.  Once we got together, it felt like everything had finally fallen into place in my life.  By judging the looks on your faces, that’s not the answer you wanted to hear from me.  I’ll get out of your hair and get my things.  Ashley went to pack up the rest of her things.

Awhile later, Spencer and Ashley were talking in Spencer’s room.  “So you totally bursted their bubble?” mused Spencer. 

“Yep, it wasn’t like I meant to though,” Ashley responded.  If I wanted to, it most likely wouldn’t have worked in my favor.  Spencer chuckled and Ashley continued, “The truth was that it wasn’t awkward for us to make the transition from friends to girlfriend.”

“No, it wasn’t,” agreed Spencer with a smile.  There was a knock on the door.  Paula opened the door.
