Chapter 21 - Shopping

Joey was embarrassed when he realized that Anna didn't have her ears pierced.

He covered his face with his other hand and decided to leave. But when he was almost to the door he stopped for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Anna thought it was really funny to tease him.

Joey held up his hand and removed an accessory. It was a doll born with fire, symbolizing nirvana and rebirth.

He bought it. Anna knew that it did seem a bit expensive to him with his current finances. She couldn't understand why he bought it.

After thinking about it, she realized that he didn't seem to like those things, so he bought it as a gift for another girl?

Now this doll became a thorn for Anna.

But she had to admit that when she first saw this doll, she really liked it.

With that in mind, she dragged him out of the store and started shopping in the women's department.

Though she was shopping now, there were no brands she liked.
