Ashton really wasn't expecting the visitor to be Adams.

"I asked a question. Why is he here?'' Adams asked, still looking at Ashton in anger.

"It doesn't concern you Adams, you came here to see Diane, so don't cross your limits by asking me silly questions, it's none of your business who comes to visit me." Alicia rudely reply, feeling annoyed by Adams questions.

Adams was about saying something when Diane spoke.

"I remember you, you're Mommy's friend." She said softly.

Ashton smiled, then he walked to her and crouched down to her level. "You've got a good memory Diane." He smiled. "How are you?" He asked, stroking her hair lovingly.

"What are you doing Adams!?" Adams looked at her. "What does it look like I'm doing? You can't be sitting here with this man, holding hands and smiling like there's something going on between you two." Adams fumed."What? What rubbish are you talking about!? Let go!"
