He certainly approved of the change, but he simply couldn't help taking the rather perfect opportunity to tease her. This was just so outside the norm for her that he couldn't resist. She grinned at the instant blush. That too was not something he saw from her often, yet something he could definitely learn to appreciate. Of course, whatever amusement he'd been feeling paled in comparison to what he felt when he explained what it was he was suppose to be doing.
"Alter of your femininity?" he asked, the sound choked with amusement. He simply couldn't help the laugh. He was pretty sure it was physically impossible for anyone not to laugh at that. What cheesy romance novel had she been reading? Combine that with the look on her face and the simple fact that Katie Bell was not what he would consider as overly feminine. It was just plain ridiculous.
His amusement had that steady build to it that left him running a hand over his face as he gave another laugh ... only to think of it again and laugh once more. Christ.
