“Well, I–”

Before Ashton can finish his sentence, he’s interrupted by the sound of a key unlocking the front door. Two familiar voices can soon after be heard from the living room, a certain laugh cutting through the entire house.

“I guess Eve made it back just in time for dinner. She even brought your favourite kind of company.”

Ava sticks her tongue out at Ash and stands back up. “Shut up, you’re such a dummy. I’m gonna go say hi to them. Dinner will be done in a few so maybe be helpful and set the table or something.”

Ashton just barks out a laugh and stands up, following Ava out of his room to greet the others.
