Edward noticed that Stella is not there. She loved hosting parties, and it was unusual for her to leave. When she returned, Edward approached her. "Is everything going well?"
Stella smiled. "What makes you think that something is not going well?"
"I noticed your absence" Edward said.
"Oh?" Stella raised her eyebrows. She was cheerful and innocent. No one could guess that just few minutes ago she coldly and efficiently arranged clean-up of a mess that was left by a mutilated body of a young man after her daughter was assaulted.
"I always notice when you are not around." Edward looked at her dotingly with a gentle smile on his face. He knows that Stella is not a simple woman, but he knows that if she does not want to talk about it, he should not probe into it too much.
