Howard was too stunned to move in that instant so before he could even react, his sister had been shoved aside.
Yvonne's mind had been on the matter concerning Marchioness Jorbin, thus, she had only caught sight of this moving object when it was already too close to her.
Half her body had leaned sideways but, thankfully, her stumbling feet had managed to steady themselves before she experienced the fall.
However, there was someone who would have caught her even if she would have tripped and fallen.
Topher had not yet included himself into this circle and after he had reprimanded Cecily, was quietly observing his surroundings.
This made it easy for him to notice the hasty figure who was heading in their direction.
What he had not expected to see was that this figure had rushed in such a way that it was inevitable for them to crash into Yvonne St. Claire.
