More Than A Favor

Chapter 63

“Ash, I’m Elaine…”

A vision floated through my mind: a little girl with pigtail buns and chubby cheeks, calling out sweetly to a quiet boy.

The boy was standoffish, barely speaking.

Suddenly, I became that little girl, and Ashton morphed into that boy. I was riding piggyback.

“Ash, you smell nice.”

“Ash, there’s a tiny black mole on your neck. Let me get it.”

“Mae, quit pinching. That hurts.”

“Mae, I’m beat. Can we stop running?”

“Mom, I want to marry Ash…”

My parents‘ laughter echoed.

“Stop laughing! I’m gonna marry Ash!”

“Mae, you can’t. You’re already promised to someone…”

“No way! He’s awful. Just awful!”

I jolted awake, heart racing.
