Josie was certain that Candice didn't stand a chance of stealing Elio away.

Elio caused a commotion as he rushed down the stairs, prompting Mila and Nathan to emerge from their room, where they unexpectedly met Josie.

"My dad sent me to bring you some strawberries," Josie replied.

"Thank you," Mila responded politely, then turned to look downstairs.

"Where's Candice?" Mila asked.
