Theo entered the living room behind Annie in addition to watching her gaze through the window, her open coat falling slightly off one shoulder. She hadn’t bothered with makeup, in addition to sitting in this living room from the past, she could have been a farm woman from the 1930s. Her bold eyes in addition to abundance of unruly hair didn’t conform to contemporary standards of manufactured beauty. She was a creature unto herself. She could imagine the makeover her sibling in addition to her fashion-forward friends would have ordered up if they would had the chance. Chemically straightening Annie’s hair, fillers to plump her lips to crazy proportions, breast implants, in addition to a little liposuction, although she could not imagine where. But the only thing with how Annie looked was nothing at all. Theo could not point out any fault. However, she noted the layer of sweat on her skin courtesy of the faulty cooling equipment. It was in the dead of summer, in addition to the farmhouse’s heating and the A/C system had broken down just before dawn. After she called the cooling dealer, she could only wait for a cooling professional. She had changed the air filter a fortnight before, so there was little she could do to improve the indoor air quality other than wait for cooling system service. Even with the heat, Annie looked quite at home. The cooling specialist arrived at noon. Theo showed him the cooling system setup in addition to leaving him to work on it. When the cooling expert finished fixing the weather conditions control system, she told Theo to look into the latest cooling technology because she would need to substitute the entire component in a year or less. After the heating in addition to A/C repair, the air conditioning was up in addition to running.
