Cecilia's gaze lowered as she moved her head a little, her movements discreet. She murmured in hushed tones, “I didn't intend for that to happen."

Mark lightly patted her cheek and quipped, "This is yours. If you happen to ruin it, you're the one at a Loss."

His words stirred a hint of jealousy in Cecilia.

In response, she countered, “Are you absolutely sure it's not public property?"

Mark set aside the towel and studied her silently for a prolonged moment. Then, he playfully pinched her cheek and asked, “Are you still jealous? It's been exclusively yours for at least seven years."
