'This guy is really something else' She blushed, her face getting hotter as Richmond kept talking.
Anne, with a playful smile, interrupted Richmond's words. "Stop! You are being cheesy. When did you become this cheesy?" Her eyes sparkled with a mixture of amusement and affection.
Richmond, undeterred by Anne's teasing, replied with a twinkle in his eye, "Ever since I laid my eyes on you." His gaze held a sincerity that melted Anne's defenses.
Anne blushed and playfully protested, "Stop!" Yet, beneath her words, there was a subtle acknowledgment that she secretly enjoyed the cheesiness. It was endearing and made her heart flutter in a delightful way.
Turning more serious, Anne fixed her gaze on Richmond, a softness in her eyes. "Richmond, promise me you won't break my heart." Her vulnerability laid bare in that moment.
