Audio Log 2: (sigh) I...I really do miss Ashley...
Sammy remembered it all so perfectly...
Ashley sat in the shadow of the apple tree, sketching the vacant pasture with intrigue and care.
Sammy smiled as she balanced on the decrepit wooden fence, "Do like me?".
Ashley looked up, "What? Oh, yeah, of course.".
"No, like...LIKE like me?".
Ashley looked up a second time, "Um...Uh...I don't really know?".
Sammy paused and looked at her, but she lost her footing and fell.
The next thing she could remember was waking up in a hospital, her foreleg in a thick cast and a nurse changing her iv.
The nurse looked down, "Oh, it's good to see that your up, it's 10:14 at night and that girl, Ashley is waiting outside for you, if you like, I could send her in."
Sammy inspected her cast, lightly feeling it's surface, "Please do.".
Ashley sat in a chair next to Sammy and kissed her on the cheek, "(sigh) It's wonderful to see you're okay...",
"Ashley, I'm sorry...I just didn't know how we stood, I mean, it's okay if you want to stop hanging out."
She looked out the window at the beautiful stars, "I do really like you...And kind of like like you, but I just don't feel good enough to be in relationship right now, and it makes me feel uncomfortable knowing that I might just trash what we have...(sigh), I don't even know anymore..."
Sammy reached out and kissed her on the lips, it felt wonderful, neither of them wanted it to end, but it did, everything ended in fire, or more accurately, ice.
