The man took a sip of tea, his tone unreadable. "Ethan Quinn came to Port Vesper by himself. He doesn't know the place or anyone here. As your friend, it's only natural he'd pay more attention to you."

Roman Rhodes watched her earnest expression, a silent smile playing on his lips, but he had no intention of bursting her bubble.
'When it came to certain things, if the person at the center of it all was oblivious, then any effort from an outsider was pointless.'
The man toyed with the ring on his pinky, coaxing her gently. "Since Ethan Quinn has his eye on Claire Shawcross, you should maintain a proper distance to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Stella Sterling wholeheartedly agreed. "Definitely. I don't see him all that much anyway."
The smile on Roman Rhodes's lips widened.
'Silly girl.'
Stella Sterling didn't stay in Room 308 for long.
