82 Looks Can Be Deceiving

"Uhh... Say that again?" I closed my eyes in disbelief.

William cleared his throat, "I said that's my little brother. Well... Half brother. Either way, it's a he, not a she."

I still couldn't understand what they were saying, "But... Why would they call her- I mean, him, Ebbie?"

"It's short for Ebel."

"How the hell do you get Ebbie from Ebel?! Shouldn't it be short for Ebeline or something?!"

He frowned, "What kind of name is Ebeline?"

I frowned as well, "What kind of name is Ebel?!"

I looked down at Ebbie, "Did you know you were a boy?"

He stared at me with a innocent expression, "Of course I did."

"So when I mentioned the dresses..."

Ebbie shrugged, "I wouldn't mind trying some on."

I smiled giddily, "Score."

William clicked his tongue, "Are you crazy? You can't dress my little brother up in a dress!"

Ebbie grabbed onto me protectively, "Stupid William! Stop talking to my fiance! I forbid it!"
