Lizetta was practically vibrating with anticipation as she gazed at the little robot, whose heart-shaped eyes actually twinkled. Adorably yet firmly, it declined.
"Sorry, lovely lady, but you have only one more chance to answer the question, please respond."
Lizetta, "…"
Remington leaned in slightly, "Is the question that tough? I'm quite curious about the answer myself."
Already embarrassed, Lizetta felt even more flustered by his proximity. The robot, growing impatient, urged again.
"Did the beautiful lady forget the question? Let me remind you: in the still of the night, feeling lonely and empty…"
Lizetta definitely didn't want to hear that awkward question again. Nor did she want to be the one kicked out of a couple's diner for getting a weird question wrong. She cut the robot off with a grit of her teeth, "I do! I'll think of him."
"Wow, congratulations to you both, verified as a couple true and steadfast, with love stronger than gold. I wish you both a lifetime of weathering storms together and sweet companionship."
The robot blinked its heart-shaped eyes, its screen flickered, and it moved on to the menu selection. With the mischievous little thing finally quiet, Lizetta let out a sigh of relief. Her tense back relaxed, and she leaned back.
Unexpectedly, Remington’s long arm was casually resting on the back of her chair all this time. As Lizetta leaned back, she ended up in his embrace. She instinctively tried to sit up straight, but his large hand was already on her shoulder, fully drawing her in.
Lizetta stiffened, while Remington, with a smile, whispered in her ear. "Answering a question got you blushing?"
Was she blushing? Lizetta moved her fingers slightly but quickly regained her composure. Touching her face was like admitting guilt, she steadied herself, so he wouldn't see her panic.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
