The rest of the drive home was filled with Aiden rambling on about a bunch of nonsense Ashley could care less for, but of course she idly nodded her head as if listening to please him. When they finally reached home, Ashley made dinner and she and Aiden were at the dinner table.

"You look handsome tonight Aidy," Ashley said, trying to butter him up. Aiden looked from his plate, eating and smiled.

"Thank you honey." He smiled again at her. 

"It’s been a long time since you called me Aidy…I like it." He said, touching her arm.

"And you look pretty tonight too. Maybe a little tired is all." He finally commented, returning to eating while Ashley rolled her eyes.

"You’re not eating your sphagetti pie, why not?" Aiden asked, pushing Ashley’s plate in front of her as if she were a five year old child. She looked down at her plate then back to Aiden.

"I’m thinkin’ I wanna borrow some money from you." She said to Aiden and he looked up at her.

"And my answer to that is of course no." He said plainly and Ashley raised her eyebrows.

"There’s a  big pie bake off down in Jonesville in a couple of month and I’d like to go." She told him, in hopes that’s he’d change his mind.

"And my answer to that…is of course no." Aiden ended, shooting her down.

"The prize money is pretty good." Ashley said taking another whack at her attempt to convince him. Aiden slammed his fork on his plate.

"Why do you need moey?" He asked Ashley, getting irritated. She didn’t answer.

"I give you everything you need, don’t I?" Aiden asked and Ashley shook her head.

"Absolutely." She replied.

"You want for nothing, don’t you?" He asked her again.

"Yes Aiden, I want for nothing." Ashley answered in a sarcastic tone once again, but it went undetected by Aiden as was expected.

"I mean your pies aren’t that bad, but what’s so important about that when you got me to take care of." Aiden said and Ashley clearly noticed how he said ‘when you got me to take care of.’ Ashley nodded her head in approval.

"Good point Aiden." She said, agreeing with him and Aiden shook his head in approval as well.
