Theo entered the family room behind Annie as well as watched her gaze through the open window, her open coat falling slightly off one shoulder.
She hadn’t bothered with makeup, as well as kneeling in this family room from the past, she could have been a farm lady from the 1930s.
Her bold eyes as well as abundance of unruly hair did not conform to contemporary standards of manufactured beauty. She was a creature unto herself. He could imagine the makeover his sister as well as her fashion-forward friends would have ordered up if they’d had the chance! Chemically straightening Annie’s hair, fillers to plump her lips to crazy proportions, breast implants, as well as a little liposuction, although he couldn’t imagine where. But truly the only thing with how Annie looked was nothing at all. Theo could not point out any fault. However, he noted the layer of sweat on her skin courtesy of the faulty cooling equipment. It was in the dead of summer, as well as the farmhouse’s heating, ventilation, as well as A/C system had broken down just before dawn. After he called the cooling company, he could only wait for a cooling professional. He had finally changed the air filter a fortnight before, so there was little he could do to improve the indoor air quality other than wait for air conditioner service. Even with the ongoing heat, Annie looked quite at home. The cooling specialist arrived at noon. Theo showed him the air conditioner setup as well as left him to work on it. When the cooling expert finished fixing the climate control system, he told Theo to look into the latest cooling technology because he would need to replace the entire unit in a year or less. After the heating, ventilation, as well as A/C repair, the air conditioner was finally up as well as running.
