On the day of the meeting, Yvonne was still uncertain. She didn't know what Stephen meant by that full stop.
She'd decided against sending another message to ask about it. Since Stephen had already seen the message, she figured it was up to him if he came or not.
Even though she tried to console herself by thinking of it this way, she was still eager to see him.
At that point, she could no longer differentiate if she wanted to see him or if she was worried about taking her businesses back.
