Truth be told, after countless encounters of this sort within the Quinn family, Stella no longer felt the raw fear that had gripped her the first time she witnessed Ronald take a life. Her gaze casually drifted to the lifeless body on the floor. "Was he one of Lancelot's guys?"

Lancelot - a name she'd heard Ronald and Hull mention back in Spring Hill.

Ronald hummed in acknowledgment before leaning in to press a kiss to her cold lips- tender, lingering, and entirely unexpected.

Stella's mind buzzed as she instinctively pushed at Ronald. "There's- there's a body right there."
