Matthew went silent.
His silence made Stella have second thoughts. Perhaps her invitation was too abrupt since it was already late.
She added, “That can be whenever you are free. It doesn’t have to be Matthew interrupted her.
“I’m free now.”
Stella wasn’t expecting him to agree after keeping quiet for a while, so she didn’t know what to say.

His voice jarred her back to reality.
Blinking, she answered immediately, “Oh, tonight works for me.”
An imperceptible smile instantly appeared on Matthew’s face. He walked to the side of the driver’s seat, trying to hide his excitement.
“Get in the car.” He had just opened the door when he saw Stella walking toward the back door. With his hand on the door handle, he paused.
“Sit in the passenger seat,” he added.

Stella’s expression froze. Waving her hands, she responded, “No, no!”
Matthew waited for her to get in before he did the same.
As soon as Stella got strapped in, she took out her phone and searched for the best restaurant nearby. She also checked for the ones that were still open.
It was extremely quiet in the car.
At a red light, Matthew stopped the car and turned to her. He broke the silence.
“Where to?”
Stella looked at the phone and said, “Blue Whale Restaurant. It’s the closest and it has the highest rating online, so it must be good.”
