Why did Marshall bother dragging Keegan upstairs when he was already drunk?Couldn't he just place Keegan downstairs?
Even if it was for Keegan's comfort, why did Marshall wait downstairs for her?There were only two elevators going up; could she really have missed them?
Keegan always had a disdain for the Jewell family. He wouldn't give Sophia a chance to get close to him while sober. And Sophiawasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. If she had the capability, she would have succeeded long ago.
So when Marshall drank water, it wasn't because of a headache, but to stall for time, making sure she could catch them in theact.
The more Stella thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. What was Marshall feeling when he came to aid the personresponsible for his first love's death?
"Stella?"Seeing her silence, her face still somewhat pale, Marshall gently called her.Stella's fingers trembled slightly, then she clenched them, steadying her emotions. She reached out and took it, "Thank you."

Marshall had a lot on his mind, but when he spoke, it came out as a simple greeting, "How have you been lately?”Stella nodded. "Pretty good.”
She paused and added, "A while ago, someone contacted me from your phone, saying you were drunk. | wasn't feeling well atthe time, so | didn't go. Did you return after?”
She brought up the topic almost as if she feared he would question her absence. This distance between them left a bitter taste inhis mouth.
He smiled. "Yes, | did. Kayla was kind enough to escort me back."Stella nodded. "That's good."
She fiddled with her cup, choosing her words carefully, "Mr. Moore, when we parted that day, | said some things that were a bitharsh. You've helped me a lot, and | was too suspicious of you. I'm sorry."
Marshall shook his head. "It's because | didn't clarify things before sharing ambiguous information with you. It's natural for you toblame me."
Stella lowered her eyes.

"Yeah, he's always been sentimental,” Stella said softly, "Do you know why he created Luna?"Marshall paused for a moment and remained silent.
