“Got it.
She's busy, I'll hit her up later.
Thanks.
Hanging up, Stella shot Matthew a relieved grin.
“Colin says she’s on the grind.
It freakedout, though.
Edmund sounded super serious.
“That's good to hear she’s okay,” Matthew mused.

Whoever Flossie’s boyfriend is, it's her own business.
As her friend, we can only remind her to be careful.
It's best if we don’t get involved.
Matthew nodded.
Putting down her phone, Stella picked up the iron again.
“Now that | know she’s okay, | can relax.
I'll check if she’s hsafely later.
Matthew remained silent upon hearing this.
He looked at Stella affectionately.
“I've already reached out to the band.
There's a small concert tomorrow.
We can go together.
If you like them, we can hire them.
