When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Since Stella’s arrival, she had monopolized Leo’s attention.

Now, with Stella being married, Nola’s fears of losing Leo were allayed.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Nola suggested, “Stella, perhaps you could invite your husband over.

“Are you leaving so soon?” Keith’s reluctance was evident, but he respected her time.

“Could I perhaps have your number? It would be wonderful to reconnect at a more opportune moment.
