Brandon froze for a brief moment, caught completely off guard by the sudden question.
"Elize? Where is this coming from?"
Ravene let out a sigh as her fingers absentmindedly tapped against the counter.
"I said hypothetically," she reminded him, turning her head slightly to glance at him.
There was a strange glint in her eyes, one that made it clear she wasn't just asking for fun.
Brandon narrowed his eyes slightly looking at her.
"So… if I had to choose between you and Elize, who would I pick?"
Ravene nodded and looked at him carefully.
He let out a soft breath, rubbing the back of his neck "Well, that's a messed-up question."
Ravene nodded her head "I know... but I still want to hear your answer."
Brandon stared at her for a moment before answering, "I wouldn't choose."
That made her blink. "What?"
He gave a small shrug, "I wouldn't choose," he repeated.
"If I love you, and if I also love Aunt Elize... then why would I have to choose?"
