A smile broke across Stella’s face, radiant and disarming.
Matthew felt his heart skip a beat.
The flush from the alcohol painted her face a rosy hue. Stella appeared far more vulnerable than he had ever seen her.
Her defenses were seemingly lowered and her hair lightly framed her face in disarray.
Unable to resist the magnetic pull, Matthew tenderly reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
Stella grinned innocently, her words slightly slurred.

“You… Who are you?”
Lifting herself off the table, she sat upright.
“I’m Matthew,” he softly declared.
At the sound of his name, Stella closed her eyes, resting her head on the opposite side of the chair.
Leaning in close, Matthew continued in a hushed tone, “I’m your husband.”
Stella remained silent, her expression docile.
After lingering by her side for a moment longer, Matthew gently lifted her into his arms and left the bar.
Stella, although intoxicated, nestled quietly against his chest, her head rubbing against him as she emitted a low, contented sigh.
As he cradled her, Matthew looked down at the woman in his arms. Her long eyelashes fluttered subtly in time with her steady breathing.
Stella was deep in slumber.
He settled her into the back seat of the car, but she kept her eyes closed.
Matthew smoothed her hair and caressed her cheek with the pad of his thumb.

Stella frowned. Her eyelids quivered but remained closed, as she instinctively nuzzled her cheek into his palm. Overwhelmed by a surge of desire, Matthew found himself alone in the car with her, enveloped in the delicate aroma of wine and her natural scent.
Slowly, he lowered his head to ki*s her.
The instant Matthew’s Lips touched Stella’s, her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze in a daze.
Matthew and Stella locked eyes.
Stella’s gaze was so innocent that it became unintentionally captivating.
A wave of panic washed over Matthew immediately.
