A walk together (1)

"This one fits me much better. I should have gone for this one in the beginning so a dress would not have been ruined because of me. Thank you for getting it for me. I apologise for you having to help me with my dress," Annalise said, closing the bathroom door after she walked out.

She smiled seeing that Rafael was still not looking her way. Did he think she would walk out without any clothes on?

"I am dressed now," she added so he could turn around.

"We will be leaving soon," Rafael replied, focusing on the sword that was hung up on his wall. Now that he had a chance to look, it seemed like it had been moved. "Annalise, did you try to clean my sword again? Did you not learn from the first time?" He asked, turning around to face her.

He was in turn stunned by the sight of her in the red dress and this time, she let her hair down. It was much better when she let it down like this.
