Anastasia paced back and forth in her cozy living room. Her heart raced, and her mind churned with thoughts that she couldn't seem to control. She wasn't used to feeling this way, this anxious, this uncertain. She took a deep breath and whispered to herself, "Anastasia, what's going on with you?"

Her gaze drifted to the window overlooking the house next door, where Vincent lived. They had only been neighbors for a short time, but something about him had captured her attention from the very beginning. Maybe it was the way he smiled when he saw her, or the friendly chats they'd had over the fence. Anastasia couldn't deny that she looked forward to those moments, and her heart would flutter like a fragile bird each time.

I promise it's for a harmless reason."Xander's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he studied her carefully. "A gun, Anastasia? Why do you need it?"Thinking quickly, Anastasia improvised. "I'm curious about its design, and I want to draw it for my art class. You know how much I love sketching, and this would be a unique subject.
