Meanwhile, Ashley was seen reading a book in the backyard, It was a romance book about a married couple's adventures in life. Ashley continued reading the book and had a smile on her face as she closed the book and began thinking to herself.
Suddenly she saw her friends walking towards her as She smiled at him.
Emma: Hey Ash, Do you have a minute?
Ashley: Of course, What is it?
Thomas: Well, it's about the marriage, sis. We found a great guy that you might like, actually.
Benjamin: We already spoke to your parents about this and they were asking if you liked him.
Racheal: Here is his picture, and we will tell you more about him.
She gave the picture to Ashley as She looked at it.
Ashley continued staring at the picture, He looked very kind, sophisticated, and respectful. Fliehr continued looking at the picture as Michael spoke to her.
Michael: His name is Desmond Crowe, He is twenty-three years old and works as a hotel manager.
Racheal: We found out about his workplace, and by the way, we are not stalkers
Ashley laughed a little as the others chuckled as Racheal continued speaking.
Racheal: We asked some employees about Desmond, and they always managed that he was a really nice guy and a responsible manager.
Thomas: We heard a lot of good stuff about him, The only thing is he gets nervous easily.
Benjamin: We did have doubts at first, but we met one of his friends who worked in the same place, and he said that he also came over to Desmond's house and met his family.
Emma: Overall, We do like him, but it's up to you at the moment.
Ashley: I mean. . . He's pretty cute, actually.
Michael: *Chuckles* Yeah, but what do you think?
Ashley continued staring at the picture as the friends were patiently waiting before she spoke to them.
Ashley: Can you guys give me some time to think?
Thomas: Of course, Ash. Take your time.
Racheal: Don't stress out, Ashley. It's okay to say no if you don't like him.
They all smiled at Ashley as She gave a smile to them before they all walked away and went back to the house as Ashley was looking at Desmond's picture again before she began smiling and was thinking about it.
Meanwhile, Desmond arrived home after a long day at work, He took a shower and changed into fresh clothes as he was fixing his hair and heard his parents and friends talking to each other.
Crowe went downstairs as Alex, Chris, Monica, and Danielle saw Desmond and smiled at him as Ambrose got up and walked towards Desmond.
Alex: Hey Desmond, Come here. We have to talk about something.
Desmond looked at him and nodded as they both walked away while Chris, Monica, and Danielle followed them.
Desmond: So, what did you want to talk about?
Danielle: Obviously, you know what it is, We found someone that you may like.
Desmond: Oh really?
Chris: Yup, me, Danielle, Alex, and Monica, and your parents think she could be a nice lady, actually.
Monica: *Smiles* Here is her picture.
Monica gave a picture to Desmond as Crowe looked at the picture.
Desmond was looking at the picture as Chris decided to joke around.
Chris: Look at that, He's already hypnotised.
Desmond: What???
Alex: Clearly, we can see that, Hahaha.
Monica: Hahahaha, come on. Don't trouble him
Danielle: Anyways, Her name is Ashley Fliehr, She is twenty-one years old. We heard a lot of good things about her and her family.
The friends continued talking more about Ashley and her family as Crowe was listening to them while nodding as he looked at Ashley's picture again.

Monica: Awww, he said it.
Desmond just looked at Monica as the friends shared a small laugh together as Crowe spoke to them.
Desmond: Can you give me some time to think about? I'll let you know soon.
Alex: No need to rush yourself, man. Take all the time you need.
Danielle: And don't worry about anything, Be honest with us.
Chris: Think wisely, buddy. We are all here for you.
Desmond smiled at them as the friends smiled at him before they left the room. Desmond stared at Ashley's picture as he smiled and said something to himself.
Desmond: She's different than most of the women they picked.
He smiled at and looked at the picture as Desmond said something to himself.
Desmond: But she's really beautiful.
Desmond chuckled to himself before he placed the picture on the table as he was thinking about it.
It was nighttime as everyone was asleep except Desmond, who finished up some work on the computer as he yawned and got up from his chair.
He looked at the time and noticed it was eleven thirty p.m as he laid on his bed before he noticed the picture of Ashley on the nightstand as he looked at him.
He had a small smile on his face before he put it in the drawers as Crowe lay on his bed and was thinking about it.
He felt like he really liked Ashley.
Meanwhile, Ashley was seen laying in her bed while reading a book, After she was done reading the book, she looked at the time and knew she needed to head to sleep now.
Ashley saw the picture of Desmond in her nightstand as She couldn't but look at the picture and had a smile on her face before she wrapped herself in the blanket and began thinking about Desmond.
She also felt like Desmond was perfect for her
