Nina looked at Wilfred and said, "You don't need to go through all that trouble."

Wilfred replied, "I don't really like fruits. The strawberries would just go bad if left uneaten, so it's better if you have them."

Yvonne's eyes lingered on Wilfred, feeling something was off. He seemed very attentive to Nina.

"Let's eat the noodles before they get soggy," Nina suggested.

They began eating together. Wilfred stared at his bowl for a while before starting to eat, taking his time.

Yvonne pondered for a moment, recalling that she had not seen Wilfred around before. "But it feels like you've known each other for a long time by the way he looks at you. And he brought you strawberries. You love strawberries, right? Big and red ones. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
