“And Dulce?” Her inquiry was soft, yet it carried the weight of concern.
Matthew’s expression hardened slightly, his voice taking on a steely resolve.

“Is this your doing?”
A crease formed between Matthew’s eyebrows, his face a mask of confusion. He studied the license plates briefly and responded with composure.

Sensing her unease, Matthew offered her comfort.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a simple meal. There’s no need to be too nervous.”

He tenderly opened the door for her, murmuring with a soft gaze, “Please, get in.”

“What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Matthew, ever attentive, noticed.

“I’m alright.”
“If you’re unwell, we can rest. The meal can wait.” Matthew was skeptical, seeing through her denial.
Stella met his gaze, her smile strained but earnest.
