He couldn't just NOT show up like he was used to at St. Mungo's where the other would stick their heads in floo to his fireplace in his study to ask what to do or how to do something. He would stay home during the summer with the kids if he felt or was told that they were extremely bored. He couldn't do that at the ministry, he'd surely get fired. Aha, the goddaughters, Asher had been thinking about them a little in the past few weeks. Just wondering what they were like...but then again, he had been thinking about A LOT of things, he didn't know what he HADN'T thought of. He gave her a questioning look when she looked into his eyes and took a deep breath. Asher's first repsonse was to take a really deep breath. Did Chloe just ask me to meet her goddaughters and friends? If Asher had been a woman, it would've been the equivelent to Chloe being a man and asking him to marry her. He was astonished for a reason or another that she wanted him to meet these other important figures in her life. But then again, it didn't, they were already living together, and he had met the parents and brother...and he WAS thinking of proposing. So this shouldn't have come as a shock to him. He beamed down at her. "I'd love to Chloe." he responded finally.
Chloe stood there in anxious silence, watching Asher's face. With every second that he didn't respond, she lost a little bit of hope. Maybe that was stupid to ask him. Maybe he just... maybe he wasn't ready to make a trip like that with her and meet the people who she held so close to her heart. She knew it was a big step, but she thought it was okay... she had thought they were... there, but maybe they weren't. And she was panicking again as the seconds stretched into at least a minute of silence. He didn't want to. He was trying to come up with a reason to say no. Chloe was pushing this too quickly.

And then he was smiling at her and saying he would. Chloe had to practically jump on him to throw her arms completely around his neck and kiss him on the cheek in her excitement. "Oh, Asher! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This means so much to me! And ever since I told them about you, they've been dying to meet you. They ask the cutest questions in their letters. Wanting to know if you're cute and a good kisser and just the silliest things, but... Oh! I'm so glad you'll go with me!" Chloe just hugged him tight. What more could she ask for from him? Asher was her other half, her perfect fit.

She just hoped he felt the same way.

It's the way I've watched you change me from a boy into a man.

It's a million things about you, and I don't know what it is. I have never known a love like this.
