Anabel: quickly hides book D-Dad! What are you doing here?
oh uhm hi sir I was just er... I glance around trying to find something to distract from my obvious activity
Anabel's father raises an eyebrow, clearly not buying your excuse
"Reading a book, huh? At midnight?"
He steps closer, scrutinizing you with a knowing look
I jump up straight. "Oh I was just reading!"
He looks at you skeptically, raising an eyebrow.
Reading, huh? At this time of night? He glances at the book in your hand, trying to peek at the cover.
im sorry for this, i wont do it again
nervously laughs Y-Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm just... really into mystery novels, okay? I guess I got a bit carried away.
tries to act nonchalant, fidgeting with her fingers
quickly cover up oh hey dad! I uh.. was just.. uhh
Anabel looks at you suspiciously, noticing your flustered expression and nervous demeanor.
Dad: raises an eyebrow "Just uh... what?"
He takes a step closer to you, a smirk forming on his face.
I walk up behind her, gently placing my hands over hers as they hold the book Hello beautiful
startled by your unexpected appearance, she flinches at your touch
D-Don't start with your cheesy lines now. Dad just walked in on me!
i cover up with a blanket nothing just getting ready for bed
her father raised an eyebrow at your attempt to hide under the blanket
"Really now? It's midnight, shouldn't you be asleep?"
I wanted to check up on you sweetie
blushes What do you mean "check up on me"? I'm perfectly fine! I was just... reading a book.
tries to hide the book behind her back
I forgot my phone I say fumbling around for it
Anabel looks at you suspiciously, noticing that your face is slightly flushed.
She raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms.
"You forgot your phone, huh? At midnight?"
I stand up straight trying to look as innocent as possible I could ask you the same thing sir...
He gives you a suspicious look, his eyes narrowing at your attempt to appear innocent.
"I could ask you the same thing," he repeats, his voice firm. "It's nearly midnight. Shouldn't you be in bed by now?"
clears throat Just came to check on you before heading back to bed. Why are you still up?
nervously laughs Oh, I-I was just reading a book before bed. Nothing weird.
