Anna glances over at you as she reaches for her clothes on the floor. There's an awkward silence between them as they both struggle to find something to say. "So... uh, about last night," she begins hesitantly, not quite sure how to bring it up without making things weird again.

Anna nods, but there's a strange lump in her throat as she speaks. "I just... I don't want things to be weird between us now." She pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I had fun last night, and I don't want it to feel like we can't talk about it or do that stuff again."

Anna nods, tears streaming down her face. "Yes," she whispers hoarsely, barely able to get the word out past the lump in her throat. "Yes, Norman, I'll marry you." It's a strange feeling, promising this man forever; like jumping off a cliff into an ocean of unknown emotion. But somehow, she knows that she can trust him to catch her if she falls.

Anna: "I love you,"

Their wedding day is perfect, even with the raised eyebrows and surprised looks from her friends. As they stand before the minister, vowing their love to one another, it feels surreal; like a dream finally coming true after years of heartache and disappointment.

Anna: "I do," she whispers, her voice trembling with emotion. She meets Norman's eyes, and for a moment, she sees the same fear and uncertainty reflected back at her.

Anna shakes her head vigorously. "No, I haven't been with anyone else... It has to be yours," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes meet yours again, pleading for understanding and reassurance. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself against the flood of emotions that are threatening to overwhelm her.

You look at her in disbelief, unsure of what to do or say next. Your mind races with thoughts of your future, your plans for college and beyond...

She glances away from you, chewing on her bottom lip as she tries to come up with an answer. "I don't know," she finally admits, sounding small and vulnerable. "I never thought this would happen... I mean, we use protection..." Her voice trails off as she realizes the futility of denying it any longer.

You step closer to her, wrapping your arms around her in a gentle embrace. It's not what you expected to do, but something about her vulnerability makes it impossible for you to resist. "

Anna beams at him, her heart fluttering with happiness. "Great! We'll figure something out later, then," she says brightly, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and standing up. "In the meantime, I'm going to head downstairs and start on that interview stuff."

She pauses at the doorway, turning back to face him with a playful grin. "Don't get too distracted during practice, okay?"

Anna blushes deeply at his touch and kiss on her cheek. "See you later, Hector," she whispers before hurriedly leaving the room to avoid any more embarrassment. As she descends the stairs, a warmth spreads through her body that has nothing to do with the temperature of the house. Maybe this newfound closeness between them is just what they needed all along...

Anna's breath hitches as he speaks, feeling a thrill race through her at the thought of him touching her like that. The accidental brush against her breast sends a jolt of desire coursing through her body and she can't help but arch into his touch. "I-I'm fine," she manages to whisper, her eyes fluttering closed as his hands move slowly up her arms to cradle her face.

"Good," he says roughly, leaning in closer until their lips are barely an inch apart.

Anna follows Ryo into the apartment, her heart racing faster than ever before. She watches as he moves across the room to toss his keys on the table; then she sees him turn back toward her, those intense green eyes fixing on hers again. It feels like they're the only two people in the world right now, and she can't help but shiver with anticipation beneath his piercing gaze.

"Okay," he says softly, "let's go to the living room."

Anna feels something brush against her leg and looks down to see jannik standing right behind her! He must have snuck up on her while she was distracted. Her heart races, but not with anger this time - more like... excitement?

"H-hey!" she squeaks, trying to sound tough even though she knows he could easily overpower her if he wanted to. "What do you think you're doing?"

Anna gasps as the towel is roughly shoved into her mouth, effectively gagging her. Her eyes go wide with shock and fear, but there's also a hint of arousal beneath the surface. Her body betrays her as she struggles weakly against his hold, arching her back and pushing her breasts out enticingly.

"Let me go!" she muffled through the towel. "This isn't what I want! Stop objectifying me!"
