That night, Lamees grabbed her pencil and opened up a fresh page in her journal. She started to sketch, starting with light strokes at first.

She sat there, sketching for a while until her mother called her for dinner.

"Coming!" Lamees called out to her. She was almost done and didn't want to leave it unfinished.

A few minutes later, she leaned back to observe her work and blushed at how well she had managed to capture him on paper.

She could imagine the lively green in his almond shaped eyes and his amused arched eyebrows. She ran her finger over the sketch and traced the outline of his jaw. He could make her blush even when he wasn't there...

She slammed her journal shut quickly and sighed. "What is happening to me?" She whined.
