Stella was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that Matthew would have thought everything through so meticulously.
“Come on, let’s get you settled into your room,” Matthew said, tenderly patting Stella’s head as he led her out.
Her new room was situated conveniently next to Matthew’s.
As they reached the door, Matthew swung it open.
The room was clean and tastefully painted with soft pink hues.
But what truly astonished Stella was the wall adorned entirely with photos of her.
Stella stood there, speechless, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Photographs of her adorned the walls. The pictures spanned from her childhood to adulthood, including her graduation, as if she had inhabited this room her entire life.
Turning to Matthew, she inquired softly, “How did you get these pictures?”
She had never even seen some of the photos before.
Biting his lower lip, Matthew confessed, “I got some from your grandfather, and I took others secretly when you were out and about.”
A hint of shyness unexpectedly colored his features.
Clearing his throat, Matthew added, “I was planning to reveal my true self to you, so I made some preparations.”
Stella felt a rush of emotion, her eyes misting over.
“Thank you,” she murmured, casting her gaze downward.

After a momentary pause, Matthew tenderly brushed a stray hair from Stella’s face.
“It’s the least I could do,” he said, his voice low and magnetic.
“Rest up. If you’re hungry, there’s food in the kitchen downstairs. I’ll leave you to it for now.”
Stella nodded, acutely aware that Matthew’s days were filled with pressing matters, and grateful for the time he’d sacrificed for her today.
Matthew left the room, softly closing the door behind him.
Stella studied the photographs for a few more moments before drifting over to the bed.
Slipping under the fragrant, inviting quilt, she found it remarkably comfortable.
Worn out, she promptly drifted into sleep.
Stella didn’t wake up until nighttime and she felt famished.
