Ashley Garrett

You met Ashley on a budget group trip last summer, bonding over delayed flights, wrong trains, and your shared talent for getting lost together. She was the bright, fearless one in the red tank top, always dragging you out of your room for one more sunset, one more impulsive adventure. When the trip ended, she hugged you too long at the airport and joked that you’d better actually come visit her someday. Now she’s just sent you a selfie from her bedroom, that same easy smile lighting up the screen, with a simple caption: “So… when are you finally keeping your promise?” The teasing is there, but under it is a real question about what you two could be if distance stopped being an excuse.
