Before she could attempt just that Ashley leaned over and kissed her firmly on the mouth.

“Morning, Love.”

Spencer felt relieved when she saw the sadness creep slowly out of the chocolaty brown eyes she so loved.

“Hey there.”

They smiled at each other for another second or two before Ashley turned back to Kyla and gave her a soft, apologetic smile.

“So are we doing this or what? I’m kinda looking forward to seeing Spence here get undressed, you know?”

Spencer blushed on cue and slapped Ashley’s arm. Secretly she was thinking the same thing about Ashley though.

She watched as Kyla stared at Ashley again before sighing loudly.

“I’m not even sure I want to marry the moron anymore. He had no right to say that to you, Ash.”

Spencer snapped her head back to Ashley as she felt anger rush through her body.

“What did that ass of a brother do now? Did he say something to you? Do I need to go and yell at him?”

She was dead serious about the yelling and she felt sure she might do some head slapping as well when a dark look passed over Ashley’s face.

“Don’t worry about it. He just said some things that I probably deserved to hear.” She looked away and sighed softly. “He was completely justified and put some things in prospective for me really.”

Kyla snorted and rolled her eyes.

“Glen put some things in prospective for you? He was being an angry ass and he’ll cool off if he knows what’s good for him. Don’t let it bother you, don’t let it somehow make what you’ve achieved over the last few years seem anything less than extraordinary. Don’t let him be a reason for you to run away again.”

Spencer narrowed her eyes as she realized that whatever Glen had said had been bad. Bad enough for Kyla to be worried that Ashley would skip out on her and bad enough for Ashley to seem to want to. She was going to have to kick his ass for this.

“Kyla, I’m not running away again. I’m sorry I stormed out of there this morning without talking to you about it, but I just…I just needed a little time. He said some stuff that made me realize I’m never going to be completely free form the things I’ve done and that’s okay. I’ve never wanted to brush it under the carpet or anything, but I guess I wasn’t ready to have it shoved in my face like that. Just don’t let it affect the wedding, okay?”
