Ivanna's cheeks flushed again as she nodded and pointed
to her mouth then made a writing motion with her hand,
indicating she needed it to communicate with him.
Caesar's face softened into a gentle smile,
his eyes warm with understanding as he said to her:
"Smart idea. I like it."
Before moving on to practice ,Caesar said in a low voice to Ivanna:
"First, let's get your heart rate up and loosen those muscles.
Jog with me around the backyard – few laps should do."
Ivanna nodded enthusiastically and fell into step beside Caesar
as they started jogging slowly around the large backyard.
The morning air was crisp and cool against her skin
as she matched her pace to Caesar's longer strides.
As they jogged, their arms would occasionally brush together,
sending gentle sparks of electricity through Ivanna's body.
She glanced sideways at Caesar – his face focused on their jog,
but she caught him sneaking a brief look at her too.
