Chapter 351: Time alone (2)
Annalise closed the door as she entered Rafael’s bedroom. He was nowhere in sight, but she heard someone moving around in the bathroom. Annalise walked to the table filled with food and drinks, along with a set of candles in the middle.
Annalise knew that some people liked candles for dinners because of the mood they added, but she liked them because if she tipped one with her hand, she could set this room on fire. Fortunately, she liked Rafael’s room too much to commit such a horrible act.
Annalise sat down at the table to wait for Rafael’s return. She sat on the left side of the table so she could watch Rafael exit the bathroom. "He does know me well," Annalise said, watching the fire move around with the breeze creeping into the room.
"There is wine," Annalise said, surprised it was brought to the table since Rafael normally did not care for it. Unless it was here as an option for her.
Annalise didn’t see the fun in drinking wine if Rafael was not going to join her.
Just then, the bathroom door opened and out walked Rafael who was stunned to see Annalise already.
"You look surprised to see me. Were you not expecting me? Edwin sent me here saying we were going to eat alone. Should I forget everything I saw and come back later?" Annalise asked. If there was more he needed to do to surprise her, she would give him the time he needed.
"I didn’t think you would be here so soon-"
"What have you done!" Annalise exclaimed, getting up from her seat as she noticed something different about Rafael. "You cut your hair."
