When Love Comes Late by PASSION

But destiny had dealt her a heavy blow.

As Stella mused about her circumstances, she failed to realize that tears were already falling down her face.

And the more she cried, the more aggrieved she felt.

She was angry and frustrated, with no one to vent to or even confide in.

Her thoughts drifted over to Miley.

It would be nice if she could come over and keep her company.

Miley was beaming at the camera, and behind her was a table laid out in a romantic, candlelit dinner.

On the other side of the frame was Neville, who was gazing at her with a doting smile.

Stella couldn’t bring herself to intrude upon her friend’s happiness, especially when their situations were a direct contrast to each other.
