Stephanie hesitated. “But I-
“No more,” Sebastian cut her off before she could even argue.
Pouting, she slumped in her chair. Sebastian, however, just looked at her indulgently before standing up and
taking her hand.
“Con, let's go for a walk.”
Stephanie sighed tically. “Fine...”
She still wanted to eat more, but it wasn’t her fault-she always got hungrier at night.

Sebastian let go of Stephanie's hand. “I'll check out the back.”
“Something there?”
“Yeah, something fun.”
Stephanie narrowed her eyes.

“Yes,”
Sebastian smirked. Then | guess the Ashfords are in for a long night.”

cradling it in her arms.
“Oh my god, you're so soft!” she cooed, unable to stop petting it.

The only pet she ever had was a little fox back in Fiorenza.
She nodded eagerly. “So soft, so fluffy... Can we take them back to Fiorenza with us?”
“Of course.”
He knew what she meant. If she couldn’t take proper care of them, she wouldn't get attached.
If he had said no, she'd be heartbroken.

“They're so cute! All round and squishy.”
She suddenly thought of something. “Oh, and what about Snowball? Is she doing okay?”
