When Love Comes Late
No sooner had she approached the vehicle than the window smoothly rolled down.
Sunlight bathed Matthewâs sculpted profile, accentuating his prominent nose and thin lips, features that radiated an air of untouchable majesty.
Stella wore a subtle smile as she asked, âWhy are you here?â
âGet in.
Iâll drive you, Matthew responded, pushing open the car door for her.
Realizing Flossie must have informed him, Stella didnât hesitate.
âArenât you scheduled for six? Weâll be late if we dawdle,â Matthew cautioned, gently nudging her to move.
Considering the evening traffic, Stella slid into the car.
Once inside, she reiterated, âJust drop me at the restaurantâs entrance.
Iâll manage from there.

She was concerned that Matthewâs presence might overwhelm Dulce.
Acknowledging her worry, Matthew simply replied, âUnderstood.

His burning eyes made her panic.
Stellaâs heart beat fast and she didnât dare to move.
Both of them were so close, their lips almost touching.
It was as if a mere breath would bridge the small gap between them.
Suddenly aware, Stella covered her mouth with her hand.
Matthew chuckled, breaking the tension.
