I would like to give a special thank you to all the fans of this story. I may not have millions of favs, followers or reviews. But, when I see over 250 views in one day, that puts a smile on my face!
My roommate is a rationalize(er):
By the time An'na made it downstairs, pajama pants dragging under her feet, Ludwig already had her morning bagel and coffee ready. He was in the process of finishing his wurst when she plopped down on the bar stool and proceeded to use her finger to get the cream cheese from the little foil wrapping. Ludwig calmly handed her a knife and she mumbled a quick 'thanks' without meeting his gaze.
"So…" she started, obviously uncomfortable with the situation. Normally, Ludwig would be gone to work by this time, but he lingered a bit for a reason.
"I forgive you for deceiving me," Ludwig said and sat his wurst on the plate of food, "For future references, don't use your brother to lie for you. You shouldn't allow people to dictate what you do, take responsibility of your life and do what is right no matter their reactions or the consequences." There was silence for a moment.
"Technically it wasn't a lie. He didn't actually say he was your roommate or that this was his house." An'na rationalized and cradled her cup of coffee. Her lips curling into an innocent smile. Ludwig was dumbfounded.
