Despite the stormy weather a few days before, the winter was a mild one. I was fully expecting Ellie to take my blazer at some point in the night, but she seemed to be enjoying the cool breeze for now.
She didn't ask for a repeat of our previous... outing, so we didn't go to an arcade. Instead, we went downtown, where a playhouse was putting on Cabaret.
Having my little sister and, ostensibly, my date pay for our tickets felt a little odd, but she insisted.
"I can't believe how good you look in that dress," I muttered as we filed into our seats.
"As good as the last time?"
"Better, if anything. You wear it more confidently, and I don't think you've ever been more beautiful."
Ellie hummed happily, wrapping both her arms around my left arm and hugging it tightly. "Charmer," she purred.
