I heard it was under maintenance before, but the official announcement just cout saying it'll be open for New Year's.” Melanie hesitated, but Yvonne continued, “Oh, there's a villa over there.

Is he your friend here in Nava?” “He’s my former classmate. | think he and Melanie would be a good match, so I'm trying to set them up,” Yvonne said with a smile, observing Xander’s reaction.
She thought Xander had feelings for Melanie and expected them to be together. However, it had been a while now and Melanie already had a child, yet Xander showed no reaction at all. She could not help but doubt herself, thinking she might have been imagining things.

Merry waved her small hand, wanting to touch Melanie. Melanie could not shake the feeling that someone was watching her. She subconsciously glanced around but found nothing unusual.
Just then, Xander approached and noticed Melanie's hesitant look. What are you looking at?” he asked.
Melanie did not see anything out of the ordinary and thought she might be overthinking it. “Nothing. | just noticed it’s crowded because of the holiday,” she answered simply.
Xander smiled slightly and said, “This is our first New Year's Eve together.” “It’s my first tcelebrating New Year's Eve with so many people too.” Admittedly, it was one of the few lively New Year's Eves Melanie had experienced in adulthood. Previously, she had been too busy with work or accompanying Eugene to various gatherings. However, most of those events did not bring her much joy.
Thinking of Eugene, Melanie pursed her lips. She realized thinking about him no longer stirred any emotions within her. It had been a busy year for her, and she had not had tto dwell on those less- than-pleasant memories.
