Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Truth and Consequences

Only after she’d securely locked her front door, did Stella allow herself to crumble.

Slumped on the floor, she let it all out.

If only she could go back to yesterday. Before it all happened and pause her life there.

Stella sniffed. Fishing out a tissue from her pocket. She swiped at her eyes.

An image of his lips floated through her mind. He was so gorgeous. Those eyes. His strength.
