All The Good Things

Profile: Ash Cartwright
(Self evaluation.)
College student with a steady job as barista at the Busy Bean. Isolated but that's due to her lack of want to create any lasting relationships.

Does this come from her broken past?

Yes it does and she's fully aware of this.

Profile: Zach, last name still unknown.
(Evaluation by Ash.)
A seemingly average student, who fits in with everyone but doesn't connect with anyone. Able to appear without making a stir and leave the same way. Average in looks and height.

There is nothing about him that should merit Ash's attention.

Questions for consideration:
If he is so average, why does Ash find him interesting?

Why can't she make sense of him?

Most importantly, why did she ever decide to get involved?
