Not only was Hazel's business life amazing, she was also in a fairy-tale romance with her college sweetheart, Ash. They had a penthouse apartment together that they had brought almost three years ago now. Hazel spent a few months completely redecorating it for them. It had a modern, homey look to it. They also had a large, fluffy, grey husky called Stormfly and a pure black cat with green eyes called Toothless, who was missing half of his table as Hazel accidently hit him with her car. He was a stray, so when he was cleared from the vet, Hazel adopted him. Hazel and Ash had been together since Hazel's second year of college. Ash was a year older than Hazel but she really didn't care. They were happy together, which is all that mattered. Ash, like Cami, had grown up with Heather and was best mates with her brother, Dagger. Hazel still remembered when they first met, even if it felt like a life time ago.

~FLASHBACK~

Hazel can't believe she let Heather drag her out the loft to get coffee. There was a perfectly good McDonalds down the street that sold the same stuff. She knew, deep down, Heather was doing this to force her to take a break from designing. She had been working on her winter piece for a few days now and didn't like anything she came up with. "We're here." Heather sung, opening the door to the Coffee shop. "Oh, look. There's Dagger and Ash." Heather grabbed Hazel's arm and dragged her to the back of the shop and to a corner booth. Dagger was there, with someone that Hazel had never seen before. Or a least she would've remembered is she had. He was hot with sunshine blonde hair, that was long, for a boy at least, and sea blue eyes you could drown in. He had a strong, athletic build and slightly tanned skin along with a dazzling white smile. "Hi." Hazel said quietly.

"Hey." He replied. "I'm Ash."

"Hazel." Hazel replied, sliding into the seat next to Ash. Hazel cleared her throat in a moment of awkwardness. "So, did Heather drag you out here?" Ash asked.

"Yeah." Hazel replied. "Did Dagger drag you out here too?"

"Yep. So um… have you ordered yet?"

"Not yet. Are you offering to buy me a drink?"

"Maybe."

"Hot chocolate please, with whipped cream and marshmallows." Heather and Dagger soon made an excuse to leave the two alone together. They were there for about an hour before they both needed to leave and Ash walked Hazel back to her apartment. They exchanged phone numbers and Ash called three hours later wondering if she wanted to go for dinner on Friday. Heather and Dagger grinned from ear to ear when they heard the story about the first date, glad that they had decided to set them up.
