She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they could just talk, there was a chance she could convince the other woman to take her away from here.
Stella Sterling turned back, a ghost of a smile on her face as she looked at her. "And so what if I did?"

She remembered her panic when she received those photos. She remembered the fear that had gnawed at her for days when she couldn't contact those people, terrified that her plot had been exposed. Her anger surged.
After a long moment, she took a deep breath, forcing down her rage. She finally understood why Stella Sterling was doing this to her, why she seemed like a completely different person now.
But this wasn't the time to argue about it. Besides, compared to what Stella was doing to her now, those earlier mystifying stunts were nothing.
