Well... Ann certainly wasn't expecting that. He sounded serious but she was still unsure whether to believe him. Her posture faltered and she looked softer, not knowing what to say. She'd not known many men to think she was attractive and be genuine with it, and they weren't even Slaters. "I..." was all she could manage, her tongue tying at first before she got back into her old self. "I dunno whether I should believe you or throw a punch," she confessed. "You're Slater's boy. You should not be thinking that way about Fisher's sister - unless you want the hiding of a lifetime and I so much don't fancy the consequences from either side. So.. whether you're truthful or not this has to stop."
