“It’s all set.
Fairwa’s ready to shine. How about we start our honeymoon trip there?” he asked, holding her close.
Stella didn’t hesitate.
“Sure.”
Glancing at her watch, she realized it was nearly time for dinner.
“I’ll cook,” she said, her voice sounding weary and a bit hoarse from crying.
Matthew sensed her sadness, especially after Farris’ funeral.
He suggested, “How about dinner out? Fernando’s already reserved us a table.”
Stella, a bit lost in thought, asked, “Are you driving?”
Matthew, surprised by her question, chuckled.
“Yeah, of course.”
Stella, her emotions bubbling up, simply nodded.

Miley grabbed Stella’s hand and said, “I’ll join you.”

Matthew nodded in agreement, hoping to Lighten Stella’s spirits.
“Sure, let’s all go.”
Matthew was at the wheel, driving, while Stella and Miley sat together in the back.
Despite Stella’s attempts to engage Miley in conversation, Miley remained sullen, offering only forced smiles in response.
