STELLA'S POV
I woke up earlier than usual, got out of bed, and walked to the window, pushing the curtain aside. The sun was just rising, and it was beautiful.
I just stood there feeling numb. I wasn’t sure I even slept last night—I was just in bed, unable to sleep or even think straight.
My suitcase was still half unpacked, but I had to go to work, so I quickly freshened up and put on a black dress. Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw the dark circles under my eyes and how pale my skin looked.
I gently applied light makeup to cover it up and let my hair down. I looked myself over in the mirror and…I looked okay, I guess.
When I got to my room door, I hesitated—my hands trembling as I contemplated whether to leave or not. I didn’t want to bump into him.
And there was no way in hell
