Winning Her Back Chapter 3

“You know what? You’re right.” 

Anna cocked her head in confusion. “What?”

 

“You’re completely right. I mean, what was I thinking!?” You laughed to yourself, pacing back and forth across the bed. “This whole thing is so stupid! As if Zoe was going to open that box and see me like this, and - just like that - all is forgiven!”

 

“Um… are you okay?” the teasing tone in Anna’s voice had completely evaporated. This was genuine concern. “You’re not, like, dizzy or anything? The shrinking didn’t… fry your brain..?”

 

“Anna, I love your sister. More than anything. But grand gestures aren’t enough, I need to show her I’m better!
