[Pauline's Residence]
Evelyn stepped out of the car, holding a neat bouquet of white lilies close to her chest.
Pauline Reid's house stood at the edge of the hill. It was a graceful, sunlit home surrounded by trimmed hedges and trees.
It was peaceful in a way Evelyn hadn't felt in weeks, especially not since the chaos of her breakup and the relentless stares that followed wherever she went.
'No wonder she moved here,' Evelyn thought as she walked up the cobblestone path. As she entered further into the property, it gave her a sense of unconditional warmth and peace.
When she arrived at the main entrance of the house, she hesitated, tightening her hold on the bouquet.
She always knew Pauline stayed apart from the main mansion but this was her first time visiting.
