Sure it took Annie almost two months to decide to do it, but it was two months of watching Kas in this new life of his. He was a First Class Fighter--a former criminal. For singing in a park, which was fucking ridiculous, but clearly she'd had no say in the matter. Not even enough say to even be told about it. BUT--having had enough time to let that little sting of rejection go, she'd seen him with other FCF members and even after a day of patrolling. And sure, he looked like he was fitting in and doing well for himself.
But this wasn't what Kas wanted.
On nights he came by Pour Judgement she watched his face when the band was playing and the lead singer got up close and personal with the microphone. It was a brief, unguarded moment--the kind a sister knew to look for--and it hurt to see it. Because Annie knew. She knew how well he could sing, and the fact that he couldn't without some kind of insanity running amok in his audience... well that was the crime. Any other person and it would have been apt. But for a boy with the voice of an angel to be treated like a demon because of it was so many levels of wrong. And she could fix it. Sort of.
Kas was invited... nay, lured over with the promise of dinner that she wasn't cooking before hanging out at the bar for the night. His choice on the food! Neither Kennett sibling was exactly a master of the cooking scene, though Annie wasn't technically starving or anything. And he bit like she knew he would, so now all she had to do was figure out how to tell him that she could make his life SO MUCH EASIER... but that she was scared.
