Queenie spoke first. "Leonard? What are you doing over here, drinking all by your lonesome?"
Leonard's hand, holding the wine glass, paused for a fraction of a second. He barely glanced up, his tone frosty. "Ladies. Can I help you?"
Queenie froze. She had never heard Leonard speak to Aurora with such cold indifference.
Aurora's breath hitched, and her fingers instinctively curled into a fist. Though she had braced herself, his attitude still stung.
Queenie quickly recovered, forcing a smile. "Oh, nothing really. We just haven't seen you in a while and wanted to say hello."
"Ms. Williams and I are nothing more than acquaintances now," Leonard said flatly. "I prefer my solitude. There's no need for either of you to go out of your way to greet me."
Queenie's eyes widened in shock, and the smile on Aurora's face slowly vanished. He had said it so bluntly, leaving her with no dignity at all.
As the two women stood there in stunned silence, Leonard added, "Was there anything else?"
He was clearly dismissing them.
Aurora managed a strained smile. "No, nothing. We won't disturb you any longer."
Queenie followed Aurora away, her expression one of utter disbelief. "Aurora, what was that all about? It's like he's a completely different person."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....

Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
