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.
