Ronald gently patted Stella's back, comforting her like a child. "There, there, it's all over now. I've also punished Harvey, okay?"

"Harvey? Who's Harvey?"

She didn't recognize the name.

Ronald explained, "He's in charge of security at Mist Bay."

Stella was taken aback. "Oh..."

Ronald chuckled. Even though they had only been apart for a short while, Stella was still shaken. But she had tried desperately to reach Ronald, fearing another long separation like before. Ronald leaned down and kissed her gently. Stella traced her finger along his palm. "Did you hear what I said?"

"Yeah." He responded softly, pulling her closer as the room seemed to grow warmer.

The temperature in the room seemed to plummet instantly.
