"One…"
George started counting, his voice steady but teasing.
Daisy stood her ground, pale but burning with defiance, eyes locked on him like a warrior preparing for battle.
"Two…"
Before he could say "three," Daisy suddenly shouted, "Three!" and sprayed the water from the showerhead straight into his eyes.
George stumbled back, blinking and wiping his face, caught completely off guard.
Seizing the moment, Daisy bolted from the bathtub, heart pounding as she sprinted toward the door, desperate to escape.
"Hey!" George called after her, voice rough but amused, "That's cheating…" He chuckled, then his eyes flicked toward the door. "Four…"
Daisy's ears echoed with his counting as she rushed out from the bathroom, her heart pounding. She darted toward the room door, fumbling with the handle.
"Five…" George's footsteps followed, slow and deliberate as he emerged from the bathroom.
