The Wrong Woman

Sienna had just settled into her room when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it, expecting to see Mila, but was surprised to find Daniel standing there.

Feeling anxious, she asked, "Do you need something?"

Daniel's gaze was intense, but his tone was gentle. "My room is right next to yours. If you need anything, don't hesitate to come find me."

Sienna couldn't imagine what she might need from him. She pursed her lips, feeling a bit helpless. Mila must've deliberately placed her guest room next to Daniel's; she was sure of that. Out of politeness, Sienna nodded and said, "Okay."

Just as she was about to close the door, Daniel placed his hand on it, looking slightly nervous as he gazed at her.

"Anything else?" Sienna asked.

Daniel slowly withdrew his hand. His Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke in a husky tone, "How... long will you be staying?"

Sienna felt a twinge of sadness but responded casually, "You don't want me to stay here?"

Daniel hurried to explain, "No, that's not it. I just wanted to know how many days you'll be in Phoenicia."
