The Wrong Woman

It was already past 8:00 pm after dinner, and Candice had enjoyed some fruit. She felt somewhat uneasy being alone in the vast house with only Elio.

After checking the time, she stood up and said, "It's getting late. I should head back."

Seeming flustered, Elio quickly rose and grabbed her wrist. His voice sounded urgent as he called her name. "Candice."

She turned to face him. His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he added, "Just stay a little longer. It's not even 9:00 pm yet. There's no rush."

Candice couldn't bring herself to reject him. She felt a tug at her heartstrings as the man she had feelings for persuaded her to stay. With no resistance, she settled back into her seat and meekly agreed, "Okay."

Concerned she might get bored, Elio suggested, "Would you like to watch some TV or maybe a movie?"

After a brief hesitation, Candice asked, "How about an animated movie?"

Elio paused for a moment before responding eagerly, "Sure, which one do you want to watch?"
