"Anna?" David called Joanna whose face was hidden behind her book but she didn't answer.
"Joanna?" He called again but there was no movement.
"Anna love," He whispered so quietly that he wouldn't have heard it himself if he wasn't the one that said the words, and to his surprise the book lowered and he saw her surprised eyes looking at him like he has grown some horns.
"Did.. did you just call me love?" Her voice was filled with disbelief.
"No, I didn't". David said dismissively.
"Yes, you did". Joanna sat up.
"No, I didn't. Besides, why are you making it a big deal".
"Just admit it, David". Joanna wasn't ready to give up. "You just called me love".
"Yes, I did and I was just trying to get your attention". David shook his head. "I should have known you are going to pester me about it".
