Annabelle's Choice (2)

Thinking about her current attire and the situation, an absurd idea suddenly crossed Annabelle's mind. Had her brother somehow caught onto religious beliefs like their parents without her knowing? But this was Christian she was talking about—she quickly dismissed the thought, finding it impossible to imagine him like that.

So, in the end, Annabelle arrived at the conclusion that Christian should simply get used to seeing her like this, and If he still became flustered and embarrassed by it.

It would only prove that she still had that much appeal, and that thought made her feel quite pleased.

Not to mention, now that she was looking at him more carefully, she noticed his cheeks were slightly reddened.

She found him incredibly cute like this and felt a surge of affection. She wanted to hug him immediately, but in the end, she held herself back, not wanting to make him more uncomfortable or cause him to leave.
