"Did you wait long?" Daniel approached Anastasia, who was standing on the balcony, lost in thought.
"Ah, sorry. I didn't hear you," she replied, glancing at the door of the room.
"It's okay. Let's go." He moved closer, a teasing smile spreading across his face. "Wait, something's different today."
Anastasia's heart raced as she instinctively covered her face, her cheeks flushing red. "What? I usually wear makeup."
Daniel shook his head, leaning in even closer. "No, I know you usually wear makeup, but today… something's changed." He paused, his gaze locked on hers, then unexpectedly pressed his lips to her cheek, catching her off guard.
Anastasia's eyes widened in surprise. "That's what we call dirty tricks!" she exclaimed, Anastasia covered her mouth and puffed her cheeks, trying not to smile. "Sneaky Daniel."
He chuckled, enjoying her reaction. "I love you."
