@seattle I watched it unfolding and I couldn't resist! (She hedged primarily because she said she didn't like her expression, but I loved it, so she said to go for it!) Thanks, Constance!
Ah, yes, I have experienced this (many, many years ago) - their timing is usually in the most public place possibly. I agree with @stray_shooter - he'll be just fine ;-)
I love Ashley's expression!!
