Elena seeing Tessa seemingly struck with paralysis called out to her., her voice echoed through the spacious condo, each call growing more insistent. "Tessa? Tessa, are you alright?"
Tessa snapped out of her daze, blinking rapidly as she turned towards Elena. She forced a smile onto her face, though her eyes still held a glimmer of shock.
Elena offered a sympathetic smile and approached Tessa. "I'm sorry about the door issue, Tessa. I'll make sure to send a handyman over to take a look at it as soon as possible."
Tessa nodded, her gaze flickering briefly towards Blake, who was quietly enjoying his pancakes. Her mind was still reeling from the unexpected sight of him.
"Thank you, Elena," Tessa managed to say, her voice slightly shaky as she turned to leave the condo. Her footsteps were hasty, eager to put some distance between herself and the bewildering encounter.
