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

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

Stella was taken aback. "Oh..."

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