Eliana gulped, nerves prickling as she took in the mischievous smile playing on Leo's face. Her heart raced faster, and she couldn't help but wonder what thoughts brewed behind his sharp gaze.
Why was he smiling at her like this?
"Didn't you hear me, Eliana? I asked how you slept last night," Leo said, his tone laced with mild amusement.
Realizing she had been lost in her thoughts, Eliana cleared her throat. "I slept okay," she replied, her voice meek. Her gaze flicked to his, catching the playful glint in his eyes before quickly darting away.
Her cheeks flushed as Leo arched a single eyebrow, his lips curling into a knowing smile. "Just okay?" he repeated, his tone dipping into a teasing lilt that made her stomach flutter. "I'd have thought you slept much better than just okay."
