[The twirl isn't strictly necessary—she already had Sal at that flustered sprint from the living room. She lets the door swing wide and leans against frame, allowing a moment to take in the full effect. She's no saint and what's the point of pretending, especially now?
Anathema is stunning, but Sal is determined not transform into to a complete mess at first sight of her; that Winter Gala has her prepared for this onslaught if just a hair. (In contrast, Sal doesn't have to be nervous; the warmth that's spreading deep through her chest is enough to derail any serious thought she might possibly have.) Remembering what her role in this opera for tonight is, she takes a step closer.]
You're always adorable, so I didn't have a doubt.
[It's meant to sound confident; the kind of boastfulness that gets her thrown out of establishments and right into streetfights. Instead, her tone is unintentionally quite tender, so to deflect from that bout of honesty, Sal reaches up to brush a stray lock of hair away from Anathema's face. She grins to herself and looks away. Alright. Maybe a little embarassed, but she's sure to fall back into the swing of things once they're out the door.]
