Chapter 12

Wednesday

Leigh was gone working, Sean and Michelle were watching the Fantastic Beast movie, while Ashlyn was in Leigh's office replying back to Tom and Carol's emails, and letting them know what is going on with mom, and promise not to say anything.

As she was checking other stuff, there was a knock on the door. She looks up to see Nancy.

"Yes, Nancy?" she asked. "What is it?"

"Um, His highness is here to see you."

Ash was puzzled, "Who?"

"Prince Harry of Wales."

"Oh right," Ash blushed, "but doesn't he just come in as he pleases?"

"Well, because Leigh's not here, he's being respectful. Plus he knows where Lady Fellows would be in the home most of the time when he's visiting. In this case, he doesn't know where you would be."

"Okay," Ash said, closing up her files on the computer and gets up to leave the office. "Where is he?" she asked as they walked toward the front doors.

"He's at the front door waiting."

"Oh," she said as they got closer.

And there he was, dressed in casual clothes, smiling as he spotted her.

"Hello Ashlyn," he smiled.

"Hello Harry," she smiled.

He leans over to kiss her cheeks, which she air kisses him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"What are your plans today?" he asked.

Ash thought about it, "Nothing really. The kids are somewhere in the house watching a movie while I was in Leigh's office doing my business for back home."

"Is everything okay back home?" he asked, looking worried.

"Oh, they just had a few questions," she smiled, "Like what color goes great with this costume for one of the kids. Should all of the kids wear something matching? Just basic stuff."

"So just little things."

"Ya," she smiled.

"Well, I have a question for you."

"What?" she asked.

"Well, first off, do you trust me?"

Ash laughs, "What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"If I say maybe, what do you have in mind?"

"I want to give you a tour. David's style."

Ash knew what he meant, "See the world through your eyes?"

"Yes," he smiled. "So, do you want to come?"

"Now? I just have to get a jacket and my purse," she smiled.

"We'll get it," they heard.

They looked upstairs to see Michelle and Sean looking down from over the railing.

"What does she need and we'll go get it," Michelle smiled.
