Spencer pinched the back of her hand and asked, "What did you call me?"
Stella winced before regaining her senses. "Spencer? Why are you here?"
“Why can't | be here?"
Stella was at a loss for words. She did not have the energy to argue with him, so she grabbed her coat and left.Spencer caught up to her and said, "What's with the attitude? | got you out of trouble and not even a thank you?"
"Thank you," Stella said.
Her reaction left Spencer speechless. He glared at her and said, "That sounded insincere."

Stella froze upon hearing that. She threw her bag at him and said, "You're the one who should be having a funeral!"
Spencer tried to dodge her attack but was still hit twice. Seeing that she was about to hit him again, he quickly grabbed herhands to stop her. "That's enough. | was just asking. Did my question warrant such a reaction? Everyone knows that Keeganwent missing in the waters. It's been twenty days since then. Are you actually still expecting him to come back?"
