I'm supposed to be leaving the next night, but I don't want to say goodbye. So the next morning, I give her a jersey and tickets to our game, hoping she'll come so I can see her one more time before I have to get on the plane and head back to Boston.Little do I know that her ex plays for Seattle, and when he starts harassing her, I cross the line and put him in his place. Ashleigh hates fighting, and I just hope that losing control because of her doesn't result in losing my chance for something more with her. less
