"Easy there, drink some water," Ellar quickly handed her a glass, concern etched on his face.

"Let's focus on the meal, Lulu," Patricia interjected before Lulu could delve deeper, steering her away from further probing.

“Alright, let's eat," Lulu agreed, holding back her questions.

She recognized that some issues needed to be navigated delicately.

The evolving dynamic between Ellar and Patricia was something they had to untangle on their own.
