"You know, Estella, there's nothing quite like a warm slice of apple pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and the aroma of cinnamon just fills the air."Estella chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Oh, I couldn't agree more, Lucy!

It's as if she's vanished into thin air."Carlos placed a hand on Stanley's shoulder, offering solace and support.

She took a deep breath and approached Stanley, who was sitting behind his large mahogany desk, his brow furrowed in deep concentration."Stanley," she began, her voice steady yet filled with conviction, "I have a proposition for you.
