A Love Trap

When Ashley came out of the shop, she hailed a taxi. Once home, she began changing clothes.

She didn't regret asking Andrew to marry her, even though she sprung it on him in the spur of the moment.

She changed clothes many times. She wanted the perfect outfit, and the perfect face. She dabbed skin-toned makeup on her face, but had a heavier hand around her tired eyes.

When Ashley was almost ready, her cell phone rang.

"Hello. OK. I am coming."

Her mind wandered when she stepped into the elevator.

'Will he like this style of me?'

Then she patted her face. Why did she care what he thought?

That man's charm was like that of the glorious mountains. He was attractive and heads turned involuntarily to look at him.

It didn't matter why she was marrying him.

Looking out the glass-paneled elevator, Ashley spotted Andrew's car, a Rolls-Royce. It was parked in the distance and the sparkling hood glistened, causing Andrew to look more radiant than ever. He leaned against the car and looked at his cell phone.

Ashley's heart beat quickly, stunned by his charm. She saw him many times before, but this time he was even more dazzling.

He seemed so charismatic and fascinating.
