Lynette took Lillian's hand and showered her with compliments. "Lillian, you're becoming more beautiful with each passing day. It's no wonder Steven is lovesick and unable to focus on anything else." Evelyn chimed in with a smile, "Steven is a remarkable young man. Lillian can't stop talking about him."

"Indeed. A young lady should be reserved," Lynette added with a knowing smile.
