<div style="text-align: justify;">Rebecca let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding when Ash turned back and told her she was still his best friend. Despite the fact that the question had been asked in a light-hearted intonation, that was actually a concern for Becca. It had been a long time since they had last been together, and she was afraid he might have basically forgotten her - not totally, but enough for him to stop considering her a close friend.<br/><br/>Once she was reassured that she was Ash's best friend, Becca relaxed a bit. She was still thinking this whole situation was very odd, though. When Ash turned off all of the lights, Becca stayed where she was, trying to figure out what was going on. Still, she didn't ask any questions, as she felt they wouldn't be answered right away.<br/><br/>When Ash explained that he wanted to make sure anyone outside wouldn't be able to see inside, Becca nodded, though this was making less and less sense by the second. Still, she trusted Ash enough to wait and let him tell her whatever it was that he wanted to share.<br/><br/>While he spoke about his experience after high school, Becca nodded. She knew that was his plan, before they lost contact with each other. Hearing that Ash had ended up in a car accident, Becca sighed and leaned forward, touching one of his hands gently for a few seconds before resuming her previous position, not wanting to interrupt Ash's words or line of thought.<br/><br/>When he finished speaking, and she noticed Ash's arm changing, Becca turned a little pale and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Ash, I... Oh, God", she murmured, her hand hovering over his hand. "Can I... touch you?", she asked, not wanting to startle him or make him uncomfortable.</div>
