Everything after that happened in a blur.
In the end, Stella fell into a deep sleep. Weston cleaned her up and carried her back into the bedroom. He put her down on the bed and watched as her long hair cascaded down her body like a majestic waterfall.
He leaned down and kissed her.
Stella frowned and turned over.
Weston continued to watch her sleep. Then he tucked her snugly under the blankets and adjusted the temperature on the air conditioner before getting up and leaving the room.
He went out and stood on the balcony, smoking a cigarette. The screen of his phone lit up and went dark again, but he paid no mind to it because he was too busy thinking about how Stella had been acting earlier.
She was clearly rejecting him at first but then gave in after seemingly having thought of something. What exactly was the reason behind her change of heart?
He did not know and did not want to think too hard about it. He was afraid that he would not be able to accept what he might find out.
