A sly smirk spread across my lips as I asked, my voice low and husky, “How long are you planning to stare now?”

Her eyes widened, as she flinched by my sudden question. Her gaze now darted up to meet mine before quickly fleeing like a bird taking flight, not letting it last for even a second longer. Her eyes now danced around the room, avoiding mine.

She stuttered, “T-That's not…I mean, I wasn't staring…” Her words trailed off, lost in the silence that suddenly enveloped us. As if she fell short of excuses to deny it.

Her gaze now casted downward, while her cheeks flushed a deep pink, her lower lip trembled as she fumbled with her fingers.
