When Love Comes Late

She clumsily picked up her glass, emptying it repeatedly.

Miley, unable to endure Stella’s torment any Longer swiftly snatched the glass away.

“That’s enough.

You’re too drunk.

”

It pained her to see Stella agonize over a man.

“Give it back…” Stella frowned, visibly irritated, as she tried to reclaim her glass.

Growing stern, Miley advised, “If you can’t love him, you should give up.

There are countless wonderful men in the world.

Don’t drown your sorrows over just one.

She regretted initiating this drinking escapade.

She should have known better.

Ignoring Miley’s caution, Stella took her glass and sipped once more.

Finally lifting her tear-filled eyes to meet Miley’s, she uttered, “Miley, I want to give up too.

I wish I didn’t have these feelings for Matthew…”

“What? Matthew?” Miley was so stunned she could barely articulate her thoughts.

Struggling against the lump in her throat, she ultimately lost her battle with her feelings and broke down in tears.

“I know it’s not right.

I can’t betray my husband, nor can I ruin Matthew’s family.

I refuse to be the other woman, a third party in another person’s marriage,”

Stella admitted, guilt consuming her.

I’m falling deeper for Matthew,” she continued, her voice cracking.

“The more he supports me, the more irresistible he becomes.

That’s why I have to quit my job.

As long as I’m away from him, with time, I’ll forget my feelings for him.

”

Frozen in place, Miley struggled to process the revelation.

She had often joked about Stella’s fondness for Matthew, but she had never imagined it would manifest so candidly.

Miley found herself in a quandary, uncertain of how to navigate the situation.

However, as she observed Stella sobbing her heart out, she felt an overpowering wave of compassion.

Taking a handful of tissues, she tenderly wiped Stella’s tears away.

“You’re not in the wrong here.

If you must quit your job to find peace, then do it.

Don’t worry.

I’ve got your back.

”

Miley embraced Stella tightly, aiming to provide at least some semblance of comfort.
