The next morning, Kate wakes up refreshed and ready for the day ahead, a big smile still plastered on her face. She gets dressed and heads down the hall to check if Ashley is also awake. Peeking into Ashley's room, she sees that she is already up and greets her cheerfully.

(K)Good morning, Ash.

(A)Hey, you, good morning, how'd you sleep?

(K)Like a log, how about you?.

(A)I slept alright, too, you look happy this morning.

(K)[smiles] Yeah I am, I just can't stop thinking about Merig.

(A)[smiles] Typical Kate.

(K)Hey, don't judge me, I'm sure he thinks about me, too.

(A)Oh, we all know he does, that's just a fact. So what are your plans for today?

(K)Not really sure, I hadn't had anything specifically planned. Maybe just hang out with you...or spend time with Merig.

(A)[giggles] You should definitely spend time with him. Forget about me. You and I spend all day together.

(K)Yeah, that's true, at least come down for breakfast. I'll go down and cook something.

(A)I definitely will. I'm always ready to eat your cooking.

The two best friends giggle and carry on their conversation as Kate goes downstairs to prepare a delicious breakfast for the both of them. In the kitchen, Kate is busy cooking at the stove while Ashley sits at the dining table, still engrossed in their chat.

(K)Oh, I almost forgot, I wanted to go foraging today. Do you want to go with me?

(A)You want to spend time with Merig, remember? You should ask him to go with you.

(K)You're absolutely right, I'll definitely ask him.

(A)Maybe he'll kiss you since you'll both be all alone in the forest.

(K)[giggles] Oh Ash, don't see silly. Although I definitely wouldn't mind it, I doubt he would.

(A)You're right, he'd be way too scared to do that. You just might give him a heart attack. His heart would beat so fast. It would be cute to watch, though.

(K)[smiles] I might have a heart attack just thinking about it. My heart is already racing at the thought of him kissing me. I'm honestly not sure how I would react to it if he actually did that.

(A)[giggles] Oh I can picture it now, I can see you both red-faced with Merig sweating an entire river. He would struggle to breathe at the thought of his lips touching yours. And he might even pass out because of how nervous he would be.

(K)[giggles] What about me? What would I look like?

(A)Oh, your face would be crimson red, and you'd be screaming on the inside. I wouldn't hear the end of it for weeks.

(K)Could you blame me? I'm sure Larry would explode if you kissed him.

(A)Oh, he definitely would, his brain would completely malfunction. Although, I have been thinking about possibly telling him how I feel.

(K)Oh, Ash, you should definitely tell him, Merig said you've been rejecting him for years.

(A)Look, I haven't exactly had the best luck with men. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but men just keep hurting me and taking advantage of my love.

(K)I honestly don't see Larry doing that to you, Ash. He's so in love with you, from what I've seen. He's been trying really hard to win your heart, and since I got here, I've seen him flirt with you a lot. He really seems like he wants to be with you, and I don't think he'd ever break your heart if he's been trying this hard. I just don't see Larry doing that to you.
