But Benny wouldnât abandon his revenge plan, not even for Flossie.

He felt conflicted and decided to take things one step at a time.

In Bysea, Stella woke up to find the bed empty.

Stretching, she grabbed her phone from the nightstand and saw a message from Haley.

âStella, what are you doing this morning? Iâd love to take you for a walk.

We spent a long time here in this city.

Iâd like to reminisce about these days.

A smile spread across Stellaâs face as she read the message.

She quickly typed a reply.

âAbsolutely! Iâll be waiting for you in the lobby at nine.

âPerfect,â Haley responded.

Putting down her phone, Stella wasted no time getting ready.

After a quick wash and brush-up, she applied a touch of makeup before heading downstairs.

The sound of her footsteps drew his attention.

Seeing her dressed up, he asked, âOut somewhere?â

âYes,â Stella replied cheerfully, walking towards him.

âHaley invited me out.

Iâm heading to the hotel now.

Matthewâs brow furrowed slightly.

He stood up.

âLet me take you.

Matthew was still a bit apprehensive, but he didnât think Haley would do anything nefarious so soon.

He gave a nod and said, âJust be back early, alright? Call if you need anything.

As Stella entered the hotel lobby, her gaze fell upon Haley sitting on the couch, waving eagerly at her.

âSorry for making you wait,â Stella apologized as she settled beside her.

Haley grinned and shook her head.

âNo need to apologize.

I couldnât wait to see you.

Gesturing to the spread on the table, she offered Stella a Gateau basque and a glass of milk.

âI remember these things used to be your favorite breakfast choices.

I wonder if your taste has changed since then.

Stellaâs eyes lit up with delight.

âI still love them just as much.
