Stephanie didn’t know why Vincent came to Caelorum. She hadn’t seen him for a whole week after they last met

She had originally planned to return to Havencrest, but Samantha, holding her hand, persuaded her to stay for a few more days with her hoarse sobbing. Overcome with kindness, she stayed for another week.
