“Ahem! Mr. Clark, why were you at the art gallery?”
“For the exhibition,” Matthew replied indifferently.
He was a lover of art. At his leisure, he went to galleries to feed his eyes. He didn’t expect to bump into Stella today.
Now, he kept his eyes on the road as he drove.
The conversation died down as quickly as it started. Confused, Stella reached her brain for more ideas.
At this time, the rain became many times heavier. Hail started falling too.
The hail hit the roof of the car and the windshield. It became unsafe to continue driving as the road ahead gradually became less visible.
With a frown, Matthew veered off the road and pulled up in the parking lot of a shopping mall. They made a run for the entrance of the mall for shelter.
Stella stood behind him as she tried to catch her breath.

Matthew turned his head to look at her and called her, “Stella.”
“Yes?” Her back straightened unintentionally.
After taking a good look at her face, Matthew asked slowly, “Are you afraid of me?”
Stella’s eyes widened in surprise. A second later, she shook her head and waved with a smile.
“No. I just don’t want to delay you here.
You must have other things to do.”
Of course, she was afraid of him! How could she feel comfortable around him?
Matthew went silent for a few seconds and said seriously, “That makes the two of us then. I actually have to do some shopping, so come help me choose a gift.”
He turned around and entered the shopping mall, tapping his chin thoughtfully.
Once he returned to Seamarsh, he had to break the news of his intended divorce to his grandmother.
She was going to fly off the handle.
He decided to get her a gift. At least, she would be pacified and he’d walk out of there with his head still on his neck.
