"Please. Asher would rather choke to death on an engagement ring than get married to me," Ray brushed off, reluctantly accepting the fact they hadn't discovered the reason behind the weirdness this morning. To be fair, Ray thought Asher would rather choke than marry anyone, but it didn't make him feel that much better.

"Asher," he remembered, lifting his hands to cover his face, grasping onto the last remnants of memory before they completely disappeared. "He was...waking me up," he continued, mindful of who he was talking to, "and I was...waking up and then..." No matter how hard he strained, there was still nothing there. "We're still asleep. It's fine. It's all fine, Benny."

The strange but not unusual shrill in Ray's voice suggested otherwise.
