Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 120

Stella’s actions landed me in a bit of a pickle. Simmons seemed to have a hunch about who I was chatting with and what was being discussed. In a soothing tone, he said, “Don’t sweat it. I have a bunch of friends around here, or I can crash at a hotel. Don’t let Stella’s words get to you”

“That’s very kind of you. I should be able to find a place in three days, Simmons replied, looking at me with sparkling eyes.
