Bitchy, snarky Ashley didn't believe in hypnosis.

To her, stage hypnotists were just good performers and willing volunteers were only pretending to lose control. So when her friends dragged her to a live hypnosis show, she knew exactly what she was going to see: cheap tricks, fake trances, and people acting out because they secretly wanted an excuse.

Then the hypnotist asked if anyone in the audience was a skeptic.

She raised her hand, ready to prove him wrong, telling him what she thought straight to his face...

And then the lights got brighter, and the commands became harder to resist.

Perhaps she was secretly looking for an excuse to show the audience exactly how she wanted to be used... by the audience, the hypnotist, AND her two female best friends.
