I turn back around and sigh. I wish this was easy. Taking things slow definitely wasn't.

I pressed my lips together as I pulled the car at the side of the road. I looked at the side view mirror :“This is your fault,” I blamed Blake turning to him and glared at his guilty face.

He raises a brow in amusement. “Donkey sense?” His eyes flashing in mirth. “I love your humor.” Hechuckles. A blush crawls up my neck to settle in my cheeks.

“Are you blushing there Ashley?” He questions in amusement and reaches over to poke my

His blue eyes narrow too but with mock anger.” I'm not.” He protested

"Well looks like you two are getting along.” Ryn murmurs happily.

Ryn nods eyes gleaming in happiness.” Good then hopefully your memories will start to come back s“Now I should let you two go enjoy the rest of y'all day. Blake I will be bringing your siblings later toc"Seems like a plan” He says.
