Daniel raised a hand slightly, "Let's go, let's sit on the terrace over there, there are fewer people."
I opened my mouth slightly, paused, and asked, "Don't you need to entertain the guests?"
"Aren't you a guest?" implying that keeping me company was also entertaining a guest.
My cheeks flushed again, and I walked with him to the second-floor terrace, feeling the cool night breeze outside and the fragrant grass and trees in the mountains. The question resurfaced in my mind.
"Mr. Carter, I—"
"Lily, you..."
After a moment of silence, we both suddenly turned to look at each other and spoke at the same time.
Then our eyes met, and we both stopped, unable to help but laugh.
Daniel raised his hand, "You go first."
I pressed my lips, trying to calm my chaotic heartbeat, looked at him, and asked, "I want to know if you have known me for a long time? And if you've been intentionally getting close to me all this time?"
