The package.

After Returning Home

Emir announced, "It's time for dinner. Come, let's eat."

Ember replied, "Coming. So, what's for dinner?"

He replied playfully, "Open the package and you'll find out."

"OK." Excitement bubbled as she wondered about the contents. When she unveiled the package, it revealed Chinese dishes. She remarked, "I don't usually have this for dinner."

Emir inquired, "What do you mean?"

Explaining, she said, "In my country, we consider this more of a snack."

Emir admitted, "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of your preferences."

She smiled and reassured, "It's fine. Let's try a new cuisine today."

Emir nodded, "Let me know your preferences next time."

"OK. Let's eat before it gets cold." She began unpacking the takeout.

Once they finished their dinner, Ember expressed, "That was delicious. Thank you for this."

Emir seemed surprised, "Really?" Internally, he doubted her enjoyment, thinking, 'Is she just pretending so as not to hurt my feelings?'

she responded, "Yes, I didn't expect Chinese cuisine to be so tasty."

He suggested, "Now, go get some rest. You've had a tiring day."

"Okay."

They both headed upstairs to their respective rooms.

Ember's Room

Upon entering her room, Ember spotted a package. Upon opening it, she found a baby pink nightdress. It was cute but short. She changed into it and heard a knock on her door.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"It's me, Emir."

"Coming."

When she opened the door, she thanked him again.

Emir commented, "You look good in that, and the fit is perfect for you."

She appreciated his gesture, "Thanks for your kindness."

Emir advised, "Get some sleep. If you need anything, remember my room is right next to yours."

"Okay, I'll let you know. Good night."

Emir responded, "Good night!" As she closed her door, he returned to his room, pushing it partially but not locking it. He pondered, 'What she's wearing now, did the bags get swapped? I should change it for her tomorrow. But she looks attractive in it... No, what am I thinking? She looks good, and she wore it, no more returning.' He had bought a furry nightdress for her, a fully covered top with full pants. However, the bag exchange resulted in her receiving a short baby pink nightdress with a long shrug.

The Next Day, for Ember...

When she woke up, she exclaimed, "What the heck? How could I?"
