❝ More than likely, yeah. ❞ She'll take a swig of her bourbon before her face gives a small smile. Ever since their talk and... Other things, Ashe seems a good bit more calm around the old cowpoke now. ❝ . . . You ever listen to that old artist, Marty Robbins? had plenty of wild west songs. ❞

Rather than going all the way out to her stargazing spot tonight, Ashe sat on her home's roof, a soft smile on her face. ❝ I ain't never thought somethin' that'd happen, but miracles /can/ happen.~ ❞

She'd shoot that damn CD player if it weren't an antique. It was playing "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol now... What mix was this? She begins to make the trek back to the main hideout, specifically her home that was just a repurposed bar and restaurant with a few extra bits added after the fact.

When he went back in for that kiss, she ran her fingers through his hair and shifted herself over to the bar, leaning back against it a bit. His... All his... Normally she wouldn't let that sort of talk fly, but she didn't care. This kiss was literal decades in the making for her.
