"So, you guys ready to talk?" Damon looked back and forth between Ash and Joey, who were sitting across from each other at the table.
Ashley sat next to Joey and looked back and forth between them with a slightly uncomfortable look.
When Ash looked into Damon's eyes, he showed a hint of annoyance. "You know you don't have to treat us like kids, right?"
Damon shrugged casually. "Just don't wanna come back and find you two throwing hands."
Ash rolled his eyes, slumping back in his chair. "I was drunk, okay? Things got out of hand."
Joey glanced sideways at Ash, keeping quiet but looking ready to listen.
Damon leaned back, giving them space but ready to step in if things got heated again. It was time to get everything out in the open.
Joey took a deep breath, looking straight at Ash. "Alright… I know this is unexpected, and I understand if you're not thrilled about it. But I didn't plan this, and I can't pretend it didn't happen either."
