Ashley in: Backwards Logic

How is anyone expected to make that? The order is messed up here... It has to be fresh too, what a pain.
She ended up making the potion, god knows how. A friend? Stranger? Does his name start with a W? Was there an exchange of money involved? There are many possibilities, whatever is most fun for you to imagine. Tell me some of your great ideas if you wish, but I couldn't possibly reveal anything here.
When she used it on the person she loved... nothing changed about him! "A failure..." she thought to herself. Poor Ashley didn't consider that he already loved her as much as he could. He just had a hard time realizing it himself, and showing it to others... Their happy ending, will come one day, surely.
For now... it's back to the cauldron. This next potion will definitely get him!

Also, if you recognize where I traced the hand and book from in the first panel... my props to you.
