Ashley held out Spencer’s chair for her and then took her own seat across from the blonde.

“Marco told me that you really like Italian food. So I have here a variety of things from the best Italian restaurant in town.” Ashley ushered over the waiter who had been patiently waiting off on the side. He pulled back the top of the cart to reveal a large quantity of food that made Spencer’s eyes light up.

After they had finished eating, Ashley took Spencer’s hand and they began to walk along the shoreline.

“So Spence, I wanted to tell you something.” Ashley turned to Spencer and pushed a piece of blonde hair behind her ear. “I know you noticed all the looks today from both your students and other students around campus.”

Spencer just nodded her head and waited for Ashley to continue.

“I was actually surprised you didn’t recognize who I was right off the bat. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I was so drawn to you. Most people nowadays want something from me…that’s why I thought teaching would be a good outlet.”

“I don’t think I understand what you are trying to tell me.” Spencer looked at Ashley with a hint of confusion in her blue eyes.

“For the past few years, I have been on tour with my band not just traveling but headlining concerts all over Europe. I go by ‘Ashley’ when I am performing because it just felt like it was something that I accomplished on my own not having to use my father’s name to take me places.”

“Davies…wait…was your father Raife Davies?” Ashley nodded and Spencer gasped.

“Wait so you’re ‘the Ashley’? How could I have not have noticed this before? I knew your name sounded familiar but I never put two and two together.”

Ashley looked off into the ocean while Spencer absorbed the information. Then Spencer looked at Ashley with concern, “Wait you just broke up with that actress, Linda Ryan. I read in a newspaper where they said you had been together for 4 years. They also said that you had come home to find her in bed with a man and that you ended your relationship giving up your music career in the process.”
