Is a lie

Stefan's rambling comment nearly made Ella choke on her pancakes. Not only did he laugh at her, but he also spoke to her in a very flattering manner in front of her mother.

She was not sure how he would kiss her, but the way he said it made her stomach turn.

Michelle gave them a quick shove and disappeared into her room, leaving the two alone.

She was relieved to see that someone was genuinely trying to show Ella how important and deserving she was.

Stefan then turned away from Ella and began consuming the pancakes. Michelle called him first thing in the morning and asked if he could come over for breakfast. He therefore took a quick drive to her house, fulfilling her mother's request.

The two quickly finished up their breakfast and even Michelle stepped out of her room to get dressed.
