Last chapter…

"No reason to get defensive……Ashley and I could have been killed

today….and I never would have gotten the

chance to do all the things I want to do with the love of my life, it could

have been all taken away from me by those

two bastards, the only good thing that came out of this is that…..its

that…..now ….now I know…..that I want to

spend the rest of my life with her, because I realize I didn’t have a life

before her……" Spencer says while bursting into tears and gesturing animatedly with her arms. 

Ashley is looking at Spencer very confused. Spencer turns to Ashley and looks directly into her eyes.

"Well ash…..what do you say, spend the rest of your life with me?….."

have the best track record…" she said while looking at anything besides Spencer’s

eyes, cause if she did she knew her resolve would be gone.

"baby…listen…" Spencer made Ashley look at her " I know…I know its a little

sudden, but I just can’t see waiting to start my life with the women that I love if

I don’t have too….what we went through, just mer hours ago, made me realize that

I am totally and completely and ridiculously in love with you and can’t see myself
