When Love Comes Late by PASSION

After a pause, her concern shifted toward Stella, her eyes laden with anxiety.

Stella, are you alright? Were you hurt? Silence hung heavy as Stella processed the unfolding events, her intuition tingling with suspicion.

They had thoroughly vetted the chandeliers installation prior to the event, double-checking every detail to ensure its stability.

The sudden catastrophe was not just unlikely-it seemed impossible.

A nagging doubt crept into Stellas mind, suggesting that perhaps there was more to this incident than a mere accident.

Something sinister was afoot, and she felt an imperative need to uncover it.

Matthew pressed Lindsay once more, his concern evident.

Are you truly alright? Please, dont push yourself beyond your limits.

Lindsay, mustering a fragile smile, assured him gently, Im fine, really.

A quick bandage is all I need.

I can stand guard over Stella.

After all, if I could shield you, surely I can protect her too.

Her statement cast a veil of confusion over the crowd, leaving them to murmur among themselves, puzzled by her intent. Stella was equally bewildered by Lindsays declaration, but everyone present had witnessed her brave act firsthand.
