She's the casualty of his lucrative kissing bet.
Juan
My brother thinks I'm a stick in the mud and that I need to socialize with other people, or people in general. I direct all my energy into my carpentry work unlike my coworkers. They're a bunch of cowards, running across the street to the air conditioned convenience store to buy their lunches. So when the opportunity to humiliate them arises, I join the bet and raise the stakes. All I have to do is trick Ashley into kissing me.
Easy.
Wrong.
I never intended to gamble my heart.
