75 What Do You Think?

Ashley was the easiest project partner Casey had ever worked with. She didn't hesitate to shoulder her portion of the work, was reliable about texting back and meeting up, and didn't give him a hard time about his stutter. 

He wasn't sure he had ever been so confused by a person in his entire life. Everything about interacting with her was strange. She didn't seem exasperated with him at all. 

Casey struggled to get his words out even more than usual because he was nervous but she didn't seem to care. That didn't make sense. Everybody got frustrated with him. But not Ashley. 

She talked to him like there wasn't anything weird about him. Every time they met up she would ask him about his weekend or how his classes were going as if they were friends. She was treating him the way the other students he had seen on campus treated each other.
