Ch-176. What's his name

Ethan's POV:

Ashley is standing there… just a few feet away from me, and I almost can't believe it.

Her head is bowed slightly as she checks something on her phone, her black hair falling around her face like a veil.

I don't know if she is wearing this dress on purpose to punish me… and if she is, I'm ready to repent for anything. The deep, cherry red of her dress is pulling all the attention to her…

The long puffed sleeves end at her delicate wrists, making her look completely elegant and untouchable. The neckline has this sweetheart shaped cutout that teases just below her collar, and I find my gaze stopping there for longer than I intended.

Her lips are painted a deep red, and since I've first seen her, I can’t help but think of when how well her hair would have blended with the deep red of her dress if it was still that same auburn shade… but instead, it's a sharp and bold black, which stands out in contrast.

And somehow, I have to admit that the black suits her now.
