Zuri didn't mean to avoid Anne's advances, though there were a lot of emotions running through her system right now with a lot of things plaguing her mind, but she didn't find it in herself to hate her.
The situation and the circumstances at that time were very complicated and she realized they thought that was the best for her, since she was only a child and her understanding was very limited.
However, the thought that Anne would hug her, wrap her arms around her body and she would feel her breathing on her skin, made Zuri back away. The repulsion that she was suppressing returned and she found herself having a hard time breathing.
Not only that, she couldn't fake her feelings in time and Anne caught her expression. The confusion was so clear in her eyes.
"Blue? What happened?" she asked, her voice was so soothing in her ears, but Zuri couldn't find it in herself to want to be close to her.
