“Miley, wake up.


    Your soup’s ready.


    Gently nudging Miley awake, Ste handed her the bowl.


    Miley sipped the soup and set it aside.


    She took the bowl from Ste’s hand and drank up the soup.


    “Would you like more?” Ste asked, pity filling her eyes.


    Miley shook her head, pulling back the quilt to pat the spot beside her.


    “Sit with me a bit.

    Once Ste had settled next to her, Miley wrapped her arms around her waist, snuggling close.


    Miley sighed.

    “Thank you, Miley,” Ste said, feeling both moved and somber.


    She wanted nothing more to do with Matthew and didn’t want to be further indebted to him.


    After a brief pause, Ste continued, “Also, Miley, I’m considering moving out.


    ”


    Seeing Matthew was unavoidable in Prosper Bay.


    If she wanted to sever their ties, a decisive action was necessary.


    Miley was somewhat taken aback.


    She couldn’t quite fathom why Ste suddenly wanted to move out.


    Miley looked puzzled but responded, “If that’s what you decide, I‘UL stand by you.
