Seraphina stood there. She could sense the suffocating tension in the air. Jennifer's affection was overwhelming and could make one feel suffocated.

After dinner, Jennifer offered to make dessert.

Monica pulled Hansen along to help.

Monica gave a small, disdainful smile.

She explained, "That's the payment for the painting. Though I know it's not worth that much, we have known each other for a long time; just consider it a little something for your trouble."
