"Of course!" Winnie was a little confused after hearing what Yvonne had said. She felt like she was a fuckboy when she said that.
She finally understood why she didn't like talking to Yvonne. It exhausted her.
"That's great! I'll talk to Yolanda more as well. If there's a chance, I'd love for us three to hang out one day." Yvonne smiled timidly at Winnie. Her eyes gleamed with excitement.
"I still need to take care of my mom. I'll head back now."
"Okay, sure."
Winnie couldn't wait to leave. She mentally shook off the goosebumps she had felt and left quickly.
Yvonne watched as Winnie disappeared from her line of sight. The smile on her face faded slowly until it was all gone.
Her face, which was usually innocent-looking, was now emotionless. Her expression emitted a steely, menacing air instead. Then, she whipped out her phone and smirked mockingly. "It's time to talk to my good ol' sister."
…
That afternoon, Yolanda received a call from Yvonne.
"Yolanda, do you remember me wanting to ask you out for tea?"
"Just spit it out."
When there were only the two of them in the conversation, Yolanda didn't bother hiding how much she detested Yvonne.
"It's just… Such a huge fiasco happened at our home yesterday, and I'm still shaken."
Yvonne's words reminded Yolanda of how Yvonne wasn't home at all yesterday.
Yolanda didn't care if Yvonne was truly fortunate to have escaped the incident, or if she had already prepared herself for it early on.
