ThEoRy: Finland and Australia Don't Exist- Forget the existence of 30-some million Finnish and Australian citizens. The internet knows the real truth: Those people are actors and bots, and their countries don't even exist. Finland, the theory goes, was invented by Japan and Russia after the Cold War to secure additional fishing rights for sushi-loving Japan. And as for Australia? The UK actually just offed those convicts rather than ship them halfway around the world. 

What the actual-

"Ashley."





I never thought I would see her again. 





My heart was beginning to heal from the pain she caused. 







But now she's back. 





And unfortunately, better than ever. 





She didn't notice my presence yet. 





Suddenly I felt a hand sneak and interlock with mine. 





I looked beside me, to see Sahana. 





She looked furious. 





Her grip tightened. "How does she know Sami?!" I loudly whispered. "Work." she replied with a monotone voice. 

I shifted my eyes back at Ashley. 

I could tell that Sami felt pretty awkward knowing that I was here. 





Unexpectedly, I saw Ashley's eyes move and meet mine. 





We stared at each other. 





Just like back in the elevator. 





Her gaze went down. 





To my hands. 





Sahana's grip tightened even more. 





Ashley walked towards me. 





I felt my heart beat rapidly. 





Why am I so nervous? 





But at the same time my blood began to boil in anger. 





I inhaled and exhaled a deep breath. 





Ashley stood in front of me. 





"Jai." 





I looked down at her, 





"Ashley." 





She sighed, "Can we talk?" 





I turned to Sahana. 





She gave a tiny nod and smile, taking her hand away. 





I looked at the rest. 





They all gave a small smile in assurance. 



I returned my gaze to Ashley and walked away signaling her to follow.
