“Dominick really adores Stephanie, doesn’t he?”
“Yeah, so you need to be careful not to upset her, or else Dominick would get mad at you. Did you get that, Yvonne!”
After lunch, the lary weekend afternoon found them wandering leisurely in the back garden of Wellington Villa Stephanie, full of excitement, had brought fish bait and eagerly teased the fish in the pond. As she glanced over towards the gazebo, she noticed two women engaged in what seemed like an intimate conversation
She didn’t know what Hayley and Yvonne were chatting about, but when Yvonne glanced in her direction, Stephanie felt an odd look in her eyes.
Stephanie didn’t have much of an impression of Yvonne, finding her rather reserved. She had wanted to get closer to her, but everyone said she was too bossy and might scare Yvonne away.
Stephanie was frustrated. How would she scare Yvonne?
Then, she remembered how Oscar used to be withdrawn as well and didn’t understand why things had turned out this way

That glance unsettled her heart.
Stephanie instinctively stepped closer to him, but the pond had no railing, and the ground was scattered with smooth pebbles of various sizes. As a result, she slipped and staggered on her feet,
Startled, Dominick quickly ran over but Stephanie wasn’t that fragile. She adjusted herself slightly, waving her hand and reassured him, I’m fine, really”
