The Difference

Unaware of her exploding shyness, Mark shook his head. "You called at the right time. I was thinking of going into the shower in a few minutes," he said.

If she had called three minutes later, she wouldn't have gotten a hold of him because then, he would be in the shower, unable to answer her call.

This was what Mark thought instead of depicting the real reason she said those words.

Had it been he knew what his being shirtless was doing to her, he would have used that opportunity to tease her.

Elena inhaled deeply and decided to move on with the conversation, but then, her gaze trailed him from his face and down to his chest. Her eyes managed to catch a blurry vision of his abs before he raised the phone higher.

Thinking that she had been caught, she cleared her throat and looked away. But when she returned her gaze to the screen, she couldn't see Mark's figure anymore.
