Chapter 134: 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.
"I did not try to clean it again. It looked like it wasn’t straight so I tilted it. I am sorry," Annalise answered. She wanted to jump up and down while clapping her hands because of her ability to lie on the spot.
"Never mind. We must go down to leave," Rafael said, going toward the door to open it for her. He had tortured himself by deciding to leave with Annalise and requesting that she dress up. Now that he was aware that he felt something for her, the smallest thing about her did not go unnoticed.
"What should I do with this?" Annalise asked, holding up the dress that needed to be repaired. "Can I return it to my room-"
"Leave it here. I will have someone add to it so it will fit you. It will not go to waste. Now come before the coachman thinks I have decided to stay home," Rafael said, keeping his hand on the door so it would not close.
