Chapter 223: Family (2)

"You need to hold her better so she doesn't fall. Maybe I should go first to show her how to climb up and then she will follow me. Don't look at me like that. I've been doing this more times than I can count. Bring her down and let me go up. I will show you how it's done easily," Annalise said, sitting down on the ground to take off her shoes.

"You might have been able to climb trees when you were young because you were small-"

"I am not fat. The branches won't break when I grab hold of them and if you are so worried, stand below me and try to catch me if I fall. I am going to get up in that tree to show you," Annalise said, refusing to listen to Rafael trying to persuade her to not climb.

She still climbed trees at this age and though she wasn't able to make it to the top now, she still made it pretty far. Annalise was only going to a certain height so she could show the little one how to do it. Once you started to climb, it was pretty fun.
