Annabelle Linton watched him, lost in thought for a moment.
She hadn't interacted with many people over the years. Besides her younger brother, the ones she saw most were probably Leona Grant and Aaron Wyatt.
'It was obvious at a glance which of the two was gentler and better suited for a stable life. So why did I fall in love with a man like *him* in my past life?'
'And in this life, I've been given time, a chance to get to know him. I care about Aaron Wyatt, worry about him, value him, and feel touched by his actions. He's done countless things for me that have brought me to tears. I feel all of that... so why does my heart never race for him?'
She stared blankly, surprised that she would suddenly think of that other man...
Annabelle Linton snapped out of her daze. She took a casual sip of her coffee and gazed out the window as if nothing was wrong.
'I hope he's doing okay.'
She hummed a soft "mhm" in response to Aaron Wyatt.
