Ashley sprang to her feet, eyes blazing like fire as she glared at Nathalie. "Nathalie, what's your deal? Do you even realize how out of line you're being? He's my fiancé, so back off."

Morris finally turned to Ashley. "Ashley, I make my own decisions about my life. Not even my father can tell me what to do."
