When the woman hands her the fan, Ange does take it, but the way she holds it seems definitely very cautious by Ange standards. The way Sheryl talks about it makes it sound important, after all, and even that small teddy bear hanging off it makes it feel like something that was special enough to personalize. It's why she handles it gently as she turns it over in her hands for a moment, looking at it while Sheryl speaks.
It's also in that moment that she catches Break's expression from the corner of her eye. That smile on there, the feeling he's radiating.. It's pretty obvious just how much fondness he seems to be feeling in the moment.
And Ange doesn't think she can blame him. Even aside from what the Rainsworths did for him personally, everything about them seems a whole lot more respectable than most rich or noble families. It's not even that Ange dislikes her family, but she's conscious enough of what they're like to admit that this is entirely different from them. She couldn't imagine any of them talking about it this way. Aunt Natsuhi with her strictness without the fondness that Sheryl has to match, aunt Eva with her constant sharp tongue, aunt Rosa with her temper. Maybe Ange's own mother comes the closest, but then again, her mother had been practically the family member furthest away from all the dumb rich family customs with how she even fled her own heritage, so it doesn't feel like it counts.
It's to a point where Ange didn't even imagine that some rich families could be this way in the first place. With everything she's seen and learned, it's always felt to Ange like status and money corrupt anyone.
After having looked at it for a moment, Ange moves to hand the fan back to Sheryl, only then speaking up again.
"You're amazing," Ange says, open compliments coming more easily to her today than they usually would. But even if she might have had more trouble saying it under the usual circumstances, it's definitely something she would have thought even if Break wouldn't be right there, beaming the same words without having to even do as much as say them. Every single inch of him indicates it. "I really admire that kind of attitude."
She even smiles as she says it - something that comes more easily right now as well.
"Although I'm a little worried that it's probably too late for an uncute girl like me to really be able to master that."
