Be reassured her daughter with a smile.


    “I’m fine; just a pollen allergy.


    I’m much better now.


    ”


    With Elizabeth’s arrival, Be lost interest in continuing the conversation with Matthew.


    She turned to him.


    “I’m sorry, but my daughter is here.


    You should go now.


    ”


    Respecting the changed circumstances, Matthew tucked away his phone.


    “Rest well,” he said softly, then exited.


    After the door closed, Elizabeth, who had overheard snippets of their conversation, asked Be, “Mom, was Matthew about to show you something?”


    She had noticed Matthew holding his phone out to Be just as she entered.


    Be was forthright in her response.


    “He wanted to show me a picture of his wife.


    Odd, isn’t it?” she asked with a smile.


    Elizabeth felt a twinge of unease.


    She recalled how people often mentioned her resemnce to Ste, and Matthew’s insistence on Be meeting Ste.


    Could there be a connection between Be and Ste?


    The thought rmed her.


    Noticing Elizabeth’s distraction, Be worried she had inadvertently reignited her daughter’s interest in Matthew.


    “Elizabeth, what’s on your mind? You’re so quiet all of a sudden.


    ”


    Elizabeth snapped out of her reverie, meeting Be’s gaze.


    “It’s nothing, really.


    I’m fine.


    ”


    She quickly changed the subject.


    “Mom, how are you finding Seamarsh?


    Do you want to go back to Dorburn for a while?”

    Be hesitated, then smiled.


    “I’d like to, but I promised to stay here with you for some time.


    Plus, you’re about to start shooting Luther’s new film, and I worry about you being here alone.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    ”


    “Mom, don’t worry about me.


    I can look after myself.


    The film shoot won’t take long, and I’ll head back to Dorburn as soon as it’s done.


    ”


    Be’s concern lingered, but Elizabeth reassured her.


    “I’ve made up my mind, Mom.


    I won’t interact with Matthew anymore.


    ”


    Be studied her daughter, searching for any hint of deceit.


    Finding none, she felt a sense of relief.


    “Alright, I’ll head back to Dorburn.


    But I’ll stay until the movie’s opening ceremony.


    ”


    Elizabeth nodded in agreement.


    She knew that typically only the director and cast attended these events, so Be wouldn’t encounter Ste.
