Anna blinked, genuinely caught off guard. For a brief second, her breath hitched as an uneasy thought crept in.
Did Kathrine find out?
Her mind raced, the idea absurd yet unsettling. The way Kathrine was looking at her now, sharp and observant, made Anna wonder if she had somehow sensed the truth of her rebirth and begun to question the changes she could no longer hide.
But the moment passed just as quickly.
Anna let out a small laugh and leaned back, waving a hand dismissively. "What, you think I got possessed or something?" she said lightly. "Relax. People do grow up, you know."
"But you grew up a little too fast for me to keep up with," Kathrine said thoughtfully. "Is it because you married Daniel that you finally found your voice?"
The question made Anna shift on her seat, discomfort flickering across her face.
"Haha, very funny," Anna replied lightly, brushing it off.
Kathrine watched her for a few seconds, then looked away as if choosing her words.
