"So how was the first day?" Kyla shouted as I entered the house. The door slammed shut, and I made my way into the kitchen and saw pots, pans, and food all over the place.

"Can I ask what you’re doing first?" I asked while looking around the kitchen and laughing.

"Well, I’m uhmm," she said fixing her hair, and wiping away whatever it was on her face. "I’m cooking dinner," she said. "Well attempting to."

"And why are you cooking if you don’t know how?"

"Well honestly," she sighed. "Rico told me about your mom and how she was only there for your music career and yada yada, so I decided to cook for you!" she said with a cheeky smile, which immediately turned into a droopy face.

I looked at her with my eyebrows raised. "You don’t need to cook for me Kyla, in fact, I would probably prefer a pizza then that thing over there," I said pointing to what looked like a burnt ham.

"Pizza it is!" she shouted like a little kid and grabbed the phone. Apparently Kyla is twenty-eight years old, but she acts like a teen. Her personality is bubbly and energetic, and I’m kind of curious on how she manages to work with the FBI since they all seem so serious. 

One large pizza with extra cheese and olives later, we were both satisfied. "If you don’t mind me asking, how is your mom right now?" Kyla asked.

I looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

"You know," I she said moving her hands in circles. "You deciding to go under the Witness Protection Program without her knowledge and dying, well fake dying."

"I guess I never really thought about how it would affect her," I said staring out at nothing. "She didn’t really have a big impact on my life, so I didn’t really think about her when I made the decision," I said honestly.

"I’m sorry Ash," she said placing her hand on my back.

"It’s okay though. I’m fine with everything, and I have a feeling I’m going to like the life of Ashley Davies instead of Mandy Monroe now that I’m staying with you," I said lightening the mood. "I have a feeling there will be a surprise for me every time I come home," I said laughing.
