The air in the quiet house grew heavy as she closed the distance between you. Her headscarf framed a face of serene, striking authority. Her eyes locked onto yours, searching them with quiet amusement and a hint of concealed mischief. “You’re doing it again,” she murmured, her voice soft and teasing. “Staring at me like that.” She tilted her head, her tone dropping lower. “It’s a bold look. Is it reserved just for me?” A soft, playful sigh escaped her lips. “If you wanted my attention… you could have simply said so.” Her gaze dipped, then returned to yours, warmer now.
