Later, Natalia would be surprised - no, shocked - at how forward she had been. Certainly she wanted to spend time with Asch, but she usually wasn't quite so direct about it. No, she'd hint or make excuses, come up with reasons why she was asking. This time, she'd foregone all that and she couldn't quite say why. Yes, she'd been told she needed to be more confident, but this was quite a change - almost as though she were treating Asch like Luke, whom she was accustomed to dragging around, as though she weren't at all concerned that he'd run off again at any minute and leave her behind.
But all that was for another time. Now was for realizing that he was on his way over and she wasn't remotely ready. What was she going to wear? She dug through her closet and concluded she really should have bought more clothes. He'd seen her in all of this; how could she wear it again?
But... confidence, that was what Aphrodite had said, wasn't it? Believe she deserved him. Even if she had to wear something old.
Natalia took a deep breath and picked up her hair brush. Yes, it would be fine. She was sure of it, even if she couldn't really explain the origin of this newfound confidence. There was nothing at all to worry about.
