The mood around the table lost some of its earlier cheerfulness.
Stella attempted to revive the spirits.
âLetâs focus on the positive.

â
Their glasses clinked in a unified gesture of optimism.
The dinner concluded on a cheerful note.
After the meal, Matthew and Stella lingered, strolling along the shore, their hands intertwined.
Walking on the beach, Stella felt a sense of immense relief wash over her.
She paused, closed her eyes, and inhaled deeply, embracing the peaceful moment.
Matthew admired Stellaâs beautiful side profile and smiled slightly.
âWeâll have our wedding once youâre done with this film.
â
Looking up at the sky, Stella sighed and said, âHow quickly time passes.
Itâs nearly been a year.

They sat together on the sand, enjoying the quiet.

Matthewâs expression turned serious as he pulled out his phone, noticing a call from Fernando.
He picked up, and Fernandoâs grave tone filled the air.

Observing his unusual demeanor, Stella nodded in understanding.
Matthew rose, traversed a brief distance, and then turned back to his phone.
âProceed,â he instructed.
Fernando promptly divulged the intricacies of the investigation.
âafter Bennyâs disappearance, we diligently followed your directives and scrutinized the nearby hospitals.
A witness reported a person matching his description there in Pinster Hospital.

Pinster Hospitalâs clandestine nature heightened suspicions of Bennyâs presence within its walls.
Matthewâs expression changed as he asked, âDid you confirm with the hospital?â
