“Miley, wake up. Your soup’s ready. Gently nudging Miley awake, Stella handed her the bowl.
Miley sipped the soup and set it aside.
She took the bowl from Stella’s hand and drank up the soup.
“Would you like more?” Stella asked, pity filling her eyes.
Miley shook her head, pulling back the quilt to pat the spot beside her.
“Sit with me a bit.”
Once Stella had settled next to her, Miley wrapped her arms around her waist, snuggling close.
Miley sighed.
“I’m so grateful to have someone who can make soup for me in the dead of night.”
Petting Miley’s hair, Stella spoke.
“I’ll be here for you, Miley, but…
After a pause, she continued, “Can we not ask Matthew for help?”
Hearing this, Miley raised her head.
Miley looked up, sensing the tension in Stella’s words. Considering Stella’s earlier reluctance concerning Matthew, she decided not to probe.
In any case, Stella held a far more significant place in her heart than anything else.

Miley nodded.
“Alright.”
“Thank you, Miley,” Stella said, feeling both moved and somber.
She wanted nothing more to do with Matthew and didn’t want to be further indebted to him.
After a brief pause, Stella continued, “Also, Miley, I’m considering moving out.”
Seeing Matthew was unavoidable in Prosper Bay.
If she wanted to sever their ties, a decisive action was necessary.
Miley was somewhat taken aback. She couldn’t quite fathom why Stella suddenly wanted to move out.
Miley looked puzzled but responded, “If that’s what you decide, I‘UL stand by you.”
