When Christian finally rose from his sitting position and headed toward his room, he didn't expect his sister and Eva to accompany him right away. Instead, he assumed they would come after him later, as that had been their usual routine.
It wasn't something they had explicitly agreed upon, but one time, after they told him to go on ahead alone, he lay on the bed, thinking they were late… only for them to surprise him by entering the room, each wearing something more provocative than the other.
… And from then on, it became an everyday occurrence.
So, seeing them following him right away, he couldn't help but feel a small disappointment budding inside him, even if he tried not to show it outwardly.
After all, it had become the highlight of his day, something he always looked forward to. The anticipation of what they would wear next… it was an experience he never grew tired of, no matter how many times it was repeated.
So, the absence of it was disheartening.
