"What are you smiling at?" Daniel slid onto the bed and pulled Anna into his arms once she set her phone aside.
"Nothing," she said lightly. "Just teasing someone." She wrapped her arms around him, the smile still lingering on her lips.
Daniel didn't question it. He simply held her closer. A strange lightness settled in his chest—so unfamiliar, so fragile—that he didn't mind staying awake, letting himself sink into the quiet comfort of her presence.
"What are you thinking?" Anna's voice drew him out of his thoughts. She tilted her head up, watching him with curious eyes.
"You," he answered without hesitation.
Anna blinked and slowly pulled back. "Me?" A small frown creased her brows. "But I'm right here with you. What could you possibly be thinking about me?"
Daniel looked at her as though she were something precious—something he couldn't afford to lose.
