Stella quickly pulled it off. "No, no, I can't wear this. Here, take it back."
'This is his family's signet ring.'
'What would it mean for me to wear it? If I lost it, I could never replace it.'
Stella slipped the ring back onto the man's finger, then ran over to the liquor cabinet to find some wine.
She was looking for the half-finished bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from last time.
That night.
Stella didn't go home.
As for her parents at the Sterling residence, Roman Rhodes naturally took care of any worries they might have.
...
The next day was Sunday.
The sky was clear and the autumn air was crisp.
Stella woke up in the morning and immediately started thinking about what to do today.
It was a rare day that Roman Rhodes had no work scheduled and was completely free.
'We can't just stay cooped up at home and waste such a beautiful day.'
'Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we've had a normal day together as a couple.'
