<div style="text-align: justify;">For Mariya, it was for the best that Vitali wanted to believe nothing had changed. The more he wanted to believe her, the more easily he would. Of course, she had no idea, as of now, that he suspected something and was consciously trying to believe what he actually wanted to. For now, the girl knew that she needed to rebuild the connection with Vitali and get as close to him as she possibly could. He would be her foot at the door to the information she needed.  <br/><br/>Seeing Vitali blush when she kissed his cheek made Mariya chuckled softly. It was funny to see him react like this, even though she knew he wasn’t thinking anything odd about her attitude. <br/><br/>She did notice as well that he seemed a bit taken aback by something she had said. Biting her lip, Mariya gave Vitali her best apologetic look. She didn’t know what she had said wrong, so there wasn’t much she could do before she knew what was going on. <br/><br/>When Vitali smiled, Mariya relaxed a little and smiled back at her friend. Whatever had upset him, it seemed like it hadn’t lasted long. When he said he wasn’t busy, the girl showed a bright smile. “I would love you to take me to places!”, she replied honestly. “I’m all yours for the day”.<br/><br/>After this comment, she looked at her wristwatch, which she had adjusted to the local time as soon as she had come out from her bedroom. “We can leave whenever you want”.</div>
