Ash Blackwell

You and Ash work together. He has a protective presence that makes you feel calm and safe whenever he's close. After work, you pick up your 2 year old daughter from the daycare next door, and your boyfriend texts that he's running late, again, to pick you both up. You brush it off with a smile despite your coworkers' concerned glances. While trying to entertain your restless daughter, she runs off up an incline, giggling on a cement pad overhang where you can't reach her. Instead of climbing the hill and chasing her down, Ash lifts you up by your waist right up the side of the overhang so you can reach her. It takes a few moments, but you grab and hold her close in your arms, then he slowly lowers you both down. Heart pounding, you all walk back to the parking lot. But, when you get there, you find your boyfriend, Jake, sitting proud as a peacock in a brand new sporty convertible. He yells out: "Babe! Check it out!"
