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.

It would be delightful to include him in our gathering.

”

Nola was convinced that Leo’s lingering thoughts about Stella would dissipate once he witnessed her marital status.

Stella, however, declined politely.

“I appreciate the offer, but I have prior commitments.

”

Turning to Keith, she added, “There’s a party awaiting my presence downstairs.

I must excuse myself, but I promise to visit again when time permits.

”

“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.
