Theron's laughter rang out loud, causing Charlize's cheeks to flush an even deeper shade of red. She threw a small pastry at him in mock frustration, but her eyes were laughing despite her inner embarrassment.
"No, it's not Elias!" she defended, though she was clearly flustered by the teasing. "You're just trying to get me to tell you!" she said out loud, knowing Theron's intention.
Theron grinned, dodging the pastry and raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. It was clear that he got it right and his sister was just being shy right now.
"Alright, alright. I'll stop teasing. But if you ever want to talk about it again, you know I'm here." he assured her, dropping his grin into a warm smile.
Charlize gave him a grateful smile, though her cheeks were still tinged with red. "Thanks, Theron. I appreciate it."
