Ashton's initial intentions were modest: He loved the tranquility of being with Crystal and her kids and wanted to escape the busy life of a celebrity. With them, he was just an uncle and a friend, nothing more, nothing less.
They offered a much-needed change of pace. But as the days turned into a week, Ashton realized he was falling in love with Crystal—something he never would have thought possible.
Crystal, who was still battling the weight of her secrets and two identities, was much needed by her children. Apart from her life's obstacles and intricate lies, she was comfortable being a single mother.
The twins adored Ashton, and his easygoing demeanor made their time together seem uncomplicated.
Despite knowing that James was the twins' father, Ashton could not suppress his growing feelings for Crystal. He was attracted by her beauty, her persistence, and her bond with her children.
