The reply came almost instantly, as if the other person was waiting by their computer. It was just two simple words.
"Thank you."
Stella smiled and closed the email. Then, she dialed Leonard's number.

Leonard was busy studying the sunset painting from Summer. "Anytime," he replied dismissively.
Stella checked her schedule. "Two days from now, ten o'clock in the morning, in front of The Auto-Mall. How does that sound, Mr. Lerman?"

The mention of Joshua's name immediately put Stella on high alert. "Why?"
