Stella quickly interjected, hoping to smooth over the tension, “Mr.
Quimby, please, pay no mind.
My husband means well; he’s just being protective.
Sanford responded with a gracious shake of his head.
“It’s quite alright.

Matthew said, “Remember, within KlassicLuxe, I'm known as Tobin.
Even Bennett shouldn't be privy to my real identity.
This revelation made Stella pause, the pieces beginning to align ominously.
