"Move in with me," Ash swiftly said.
"What?!"
The two stared at each other with wide eyes and pounding hearts, both shocked by what they just said to each other. The silence between them lasted for a good minute before Ava break it.
"No–"
"Are you rejecting it?" Ash briskly replied.
"No, yes, I mean, I don't know. We've just been together for a few days. So I am not sure about what you are asking from me," Ava explained.
Ash clarified to Ava, "I'm not proposing marriage to you, Ava. You don't have to give up your apartment either. We can plan specific days for where we'll stay. The nephew of my housekeeper enjoys spending time with Beethoven, and I've even extended an offer for him to live there once he goes to college. I'll sponsor him as well since he's a bright young man, so Beethoven won't be alone when I'm not around." Ash paused after his explanation to think carefully about his next words.
