A sudden outcry erupted as she struggled to get back on her feet. “Oh my God! Mrs. O’Brien hit someone!“)
With that shout, every flashbulb in the vicinity turned toward Stella, capturing her from every angle. The noise and the sea of unfamiliar faces threatened to engulf het, leaving her breathless.
