The buffet was getting crowded, and Yvonne couldn't help but worry about Stella. After all, this wasn't the time for any accidents.

She guided Stella over to a quieter spot filled with plush couches and said, "Hang tight here, I'll grab you a plate."

"No, thanks," Stella replied. "My sister's getting something for me."

He nodded and disappeared, leaving her alone.
