Camellia hummed softly as she tended to her vibrant garden, the warm sunlight dancing across the petals of her beloved flowers. It was in these quiet moments, surrounded by the beauty of nature, that she found her true solace. But today, her mind was abuzz with thoughts of the charming and intriguing Yohan.
As she carefully pruned the rose bushes, a familiar figure approached, and Camellia's face lit up with a radiant smile. "Leo, my love! I didn't expect you until later."
Leo swept Camellia into his arms, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I couldn't stay away, my darling. I've been thinking about you all day."
The two lovers embraced, lost in their own little world, unaware of the pair of watchful eyes observing them from the shadows. Rosemary, Camellia's sister, had always been envious of her younger sibling's happiness and success. With a scowl, she retreated, her mind already whirring with a plan to tear Camellia's perfect life apart.
As Camellia and Leo sat together on the garden bench, sharing a picnic basket filled with their favorite treats, Camellia couldn't help but think about the intriguing Yohan. There was something about his shy demeanor and the way his eyes had lit up when she spoke to him that had captivated her. She found herself wondering what it would be like to get to know him better, to uncover the layers of his quiet, reserved personality.
"My love, you seem distracted," Leo said, gently squeezing her hand. "Is everything alright?"
Camellia smiled reassuringly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze in return. "Everything is wonderful, my darling. I was just thinking about our new friend, Yohan. He seemed so shy and nervous, but there was a spark in his eyes that I found quite intriguing."
Leo chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Ah, yes, our dear Yohan. He's always been a bit of a recluse, but I've been trying to coax him out of his shell. I think you made quite an impression on him last night."
Camellia felt a blush creep across her cheeks. "I do hope we'll have the chance to see him again soon. There's something about him that I find quite captivating."
"Well, then, my love, I shall make it my mission to ensure that you and Yohan have the opportunity to get to know each other better," Leo declared, planting a playful kiss on the tip of Camellia's nose.
Unbeknownst to the happy couple, Rosemary had been listening in on their conversation, her eyes narrowing with jealousy and resentment. How dare her sister have everything – a loving partner, a thriving garden, and now the attention of an intriguing new man? It simply wasn't fair.
Rosemary had always been the responsible one, the dutiful daughter who had sacrificed her own dreams to care for their ailing parents. And what had Camellia done? Flitted about, chasing her own happiness without a care in the world. Well, Rosemary was determined to put an end to that.
As Camellia and Leo continued to enjoy their picnic, Rosemary slipped away, her mind already formulating a plan. She would find a way to drive a wedge between Camellia and this Yohan character, and then she would swoop in and claim the attention and affection that her sister so carelessly took for granted.
The next few days, Rosemary set her plan in motion, carefully orchestrating a series of "chance" encounters between Yohan and herself. She would "accidentally" run into him at the local bookstore, or "happen" to be in the same cafe when he was there. Each time, she would strike up a conversation, feigning interest in his life and his interests, all the while subtly planting seeds of doubt about Camellia and her relationship with Leo.
