"Hey Mom, I'm home." Ash said as he came in the house, looking tired.

"Welcome home dear," Jessica smiled warmly as she looked up from the counter. Ash walked to the refrigerator. He looked inside, decided on a bottle of milk. He cracked the seal and chugged it down.

"Ash, don't do that. It's vulgar." Jessica scolded him while measuring out the chicken feed.

"Sorry, Mom." Ash said while taking the milk into his room. Jessica sighed. The boy was becoming too brute-like. He needed a woman's touch. Thankfully, if her plan worked, she'd get her son a new wife to help him get over his old heartbreak. She came up with the plan last week.

"Mom, Ash snapped at me," Cheryl said, looking at her mother with watery eyes.

"It's alright, dear." Jessica hugged her tightly, rocking her. "Ash just needs a little time." Cheryl sniffed.

"I wished he hadn't met her. He looks so sad all the time."

"I know, dear." Jessica was then struck by inspiration. What's the best way to get over an old love? To get a new one, obviously! But there were so few girls in Bluebell. Then she would just have to invite a girl. After putting Cheryl to bed, Jessica fired up her old typewriter.

Farmer named Ash looking for a wife. Farm experience is a bonus but not mandatory. If interested, please come to Bluebell. At the end of a year, Ash will decide if you are his wife. Reward: $10,000.

Jessica looked at her writing. She hoped it wouldn't sound too needy. But Ash needed a new love. Her mind and heart uneasy, she sent out the Advertisement.

Jessica snapped out of her reverie as Cheryl walked in with the mail. Cheryl walked over to the table, sucking on a lollipop. She placed the mail on the table and watched in amazement as her mom pounced on the letters like a starving jackal.

"Mom? What'cha doin?" Cheryl asked, sucking on the lollipop.

"Mm?" Jessica said absentmindedly. "Nothing, dear...Aha!" She said etastically.

"What?", asked Cheryl, but was shushed by her mother.

Dear Jessica,

Thank you for the letter. My name is Star Miller. I am 16 years old. I will be coming soon to meet your son Ash. Please give him my regards.

Best Wishes,

Star Miller

Jessica looked at the date in shock. The girl was coming tomorrow! Ash walked back into the room to put the glass in the trash.

"Mom? Why are you staring into space like that?" He asked. Jessica looked at him and sighed. He wouldn't be happy to know that she had set him up. But he would thank her. Eventually.

So what do you guys think? Please review!
