“The sis true forand Sanford,” Stella retorted, her tone as rigid as her stance.
As they gazed into each other's eyes, Stella and Matthew moved in perfect harmony across the dance floor, a
symphony of motion that belied the simmering tension between them.
The illusion of unity was abruptly shattered when Matthew's expression morphed into one of sudden alarm.
Stella, noticing the abrupt change, opened her mouth to question him.

Without uttering a word, Matthew turned on his heel and walked away.
As Stella watched him, she saw that he was heading toward the spot Lindsay had been in.

Stella's heart felt as though it were shattering.

It took a while for Stella to regain her composure.
Her eyes were reddened-whether from the coughing or the bitterness in her heart, it was hard to tell.
Seeing her state, Sanford continued, “Have you given it any more thought? If you don’t divorce Matthew,
incidents like today will recur.
No one wants to deal with another woman in their relationship, especially when Matthew seems to have
forgotten everything that matters.
