Relieved to hear her voice, Stella thanked Colin. “Got it. She’s busy, I’ll hit her up later. Thanks.”
Hanging up, Stella shot Matthew a relieved grin. “Colin says she’s on the grind. It freaked me out, though. Edmund sounded super serious.”
“That’s good to hear she’s okay,” Matthew mused.
Then, out of the blue, he asked, “Do you think Edmund and Flossie are tight?”
Stella shook her head. “No clue. Why?”
Matthew hesitated. “What if Edmund’s Flossie’s squeeze?”
“What ?”
Stella’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She pondered for a second and then dismissed it. “Nah, Edmund’s old enough to be her father. There’s no way she’s into him.”
Matthew probed, “Have you ever met Flossie’s boyfriend?” He wanted to be sure.
Stella remembered catching a quick glimpse of Flossie’s boyfriend.

Lost in thought, she mulled it over.
He looked just like Benny.

But she’d seen Benny’s lifeless body. How could he be back from the dead?
She shook off the crazy idea. Benny was gone, end of story.
Stella was uncertain about the identity of Flossie’s boyfriend, and she hesitated to bring up Benny.
She figured it was just a wild guess. Matthew had always been sensitive about anything related to Benny. She didn’t want to bother him with uncertain things right now.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I only saw the back of a young man. He didn’t seem like Edmund.”
Matthew’s expression grew serious. He didn’t speak, but he was clearly suspicious.
Stella held his hand and said, “Let’s stop guessing. Whoever Flossie’s boyfriend is, it’s her own business. As her friend, we can only remind her to be careful. It’s best if we don’t get involved.”
Matthew nodded.
Putting down her phone, Stella picked up the iron again. “Now that I know she’s okay, I can relax. I’ll check if she’s home safely later.”
Matthew remained silent upon hearing this.
He looked at Stella affectionately. “I’ve already reached out to the band. There’s a small concert tomorrow. We can go together. If you like them, we can hire them.”
