Emma noticed Steven at the table ahead of her, sitting next to Garrick Wright. When she looked his way, he caught her gaze and surprisingly winked at her. This playful gesture left Emma astonished, particularly because it seemed inappropriate in such a serious courtroom setting. Despite the gravity of the situation, Steven appeared to take it lightly, leading her to wonder about his demeanor.
After winking, Steven mockingly imitated Emma's serious expression before returning his focus to the front of the courtroom. This lighthearted interaction amid a tense atmosphere highlighted the stark contrast between their personalities and brought a moment of levity to an otherwise solemn event.
