Stella Cameron smiled warmly. "What's going on?"

Marvin Connolly replied, "It's about Keen."

At the mention of Keen O'Brien's name, Stella's smile faltered just a little, but she still asked, "What about him?"

Marvin hesitated. "Keen seems to have found out about your divorce from Mr. O'Brien. He's pretty upset. He said he wants to talk to you and ask if you really don't want him anymore."

Still, Stella remained silent.

Abby Murphy glanced at Stella's expression, then broke into a cheerful grin. "Oh, it's been ages since I've seen Keen. Honestly, I kind of miss the kid. I'll go get him."
