“That’s all, right?” Stella asked.
Stella hurriedly hung up once she had gotten permission too.

Stella froze in shock.
Her heart was in her mouth as the car window slowly rolled down. The moment she saw Jeremy’s face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Jeremy frowned and asked, “What’s up with you? Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?”
Several deep breaths later, Stella rubbed her flushed face and said in a low voice, “You were driving too fast. Besides, the power was off and I had to find my way downstairs in the dark.”
Jeremy nodded and said with a smile, “Hop in. I’ll drive you home.”
“No, thanks. I can take a taxi, Stella refused without missing a beat.

“Your ankle hasn’t healed fully, has it?” The smile on Jeremy’s face grew wilder.
“You have just walked a massive flight of stairs. If you decide to wait by the roadside for a taxi, it would take a while.
