We came back to our house; it was nighttime, and I was sitting in front of the mirror in my nightgown after a shower and remembering the moment when his lips touched mine. I could still feel the warmth of his embrace and the electricity that sparked between us. The memory brought a smile to my face as I traced my fingers over my lips, reliving the softness of his kiss. I couldn't shake the feeling of butterflies in my stomach, a sure sign that I was falling for him hard. As I gazed at my reflection, I knew that this was only the beginning of something special.

The room door opens and reveals Rafael . I look at him through the mirror; his eyes are on me. I can see his intense gaze and sense his fast heartbeat. I felt a rush of excitement as Rafael walked towards me, his presence filling the room with a sense of warmth. I knew in that moment that he felt the same way about me.

He slowly walked toward me, my eyes still on him. Just behind me, he stopped and looked at me.
