Lana woke up the next morning with a smile still lingering from the night before. The memory of Anakin's gentle touch as he tucked her hair behind her ear and his promise to call soon filled her with a sense of warmth and anticipation. She stretched, feeling a blend of excitement and nervousness about what the day might bring.

Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling her from her thoughts. It was a message from Tiara:

"Brunch at our usual spot? Need details about your night with Anakin!"

Lana chuckled and replied, "Absolutely! See you in an hour."

Lana arrived at the cozy café, spotting Tiara at their usual table near the window. Tiara's eyes lit up as Lana approached, her curiosity evident.

"Okay, spill," Tiara demanded as soon as Lana sat down.

Lana recounted the details of the previous night, from the surprise date at the luxurious restaurant to Anakin's chivalrous behavior.

"Wow," Tiara said, her eyes wide. "That sounds like a fairy tale."

Lana nodded. "We agreed to take things slow. I don't want to rush into anything, especially with all the media attention."

Tiara squeezed Lana's hand. "I'm so happy for you, Lana. Just enjoy the ride and see where it goes."

Meanwhile, Anakin was in his office, discussing the situation with his PR team. The headline from Insider New York had already started to spread, and he wanted to manage the narrative carefully.

"I want to ensure that Lana's privacy is respected," Anakin told his head of PR. "Release a statement saying we're just friends. No more details."

The PR head nodded. "Understood, Mr. Skywalker. We'll handle it."

Back at Lana's apartment, she was relaxing after brunch when her doorbell rang. She opened it to find Rafe standing there, looking sheepish.

"Hey, Lana," he said. "Can we talk?"

Lana was taken aback but nodded. "Sure, come in."

Rafe sat on the couch, rubbing his hands nervously. "I owe you an apology. I was the one who took the photo and tipped off Insider New York. I was jealous and didn't think about the consequences."

Lana crossed her arms, a mix of anger and disappointment on her face. "I know. Why would you do that, Rafe? We're friends. Or at least, I thought we were."

Rafe sighed. "I was stupid. I saw you with Anakin and panicked. I didn't want to lose you."

Lana softened a bit. "I appreciate your honesty, Rafe. But you need to understand that this kind of behavior isn't okay. I need some time to process this."

Rafe nodded, standing up. "I get it. I'm really sorry, Lana. I hope you can forgive me."

Later that evening, as Lana was reflecting on the day's events, her phone rang. It was Anakin.

"Hey, Lana," he said, his voice warm. "I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing."

Lana smiled, her heart fluttering. "I'm good. It's been an eventful day. Rafe finally confessed he was the one who tipped off the paparazzi."

Anakin sighed. "I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so. It was a shock, but I'm glad he came clean."

There was a pause before Anakin spoke again, his tone shifting to a hopeful one. "Lana, do you have time tomorrow? The whole day, I mean. I want to take you away from the city for a bit, somewhere peaceful. Just pack a bathing suit."

Lana's smile widened, excitement bubbling up inside her. "That sounds amazing, Anakin. I'd love to."

"Great," Anakin said, relief and anticipation evident in his voice. "I'll pick you up at nine. See you then."

"See you," Lana replied, feeling a sense of adventure and anticipation for what tomorrow might bring.
