The cashier just shook her head with a smile. “The bill's already been taken care of.”
Seeing this, Wyatt didn’t press further. With a puzzled frown, he pocketed his card and headed back to the
private dining room.
Upon his return, Wyatt noticed Mirabella was absent. He asked casually. “Where's Ms. Mirabella?”
“Bathroom,” James replied, barely glancing at Wyatt, his tone disinterested.
Wyatt paused, a thought crossing his mind. Could Ms. Mirabella have settled the bill? But hadn't she been in the
room the whole time?
“What's up?” James inquired, noticing Wyatt's perplexed expression.
Scratching his head, Wyatt admitted, “I went to pay, but the cashier said someone had already covered it.”

He hesitated before adding, “Maybe Ms. Mirabella sorted it out.”
James tapped his fingers on the tabletop but didn’t respond.
Shortly, Mirabella returned to the room. She caught the odd looks from James and Wyatt and asked curiously,
“What's with the faces?”
“Nothing.” Wyatt replied quickly, determined not to admit that he and James had almost freeloaded a meal. That

“Yeah, want one?” Mirabella pulled the box back out.
“Sure,” Zach nodded eagerly.
Opening the box, Mirabella handed him just a single stick. Holding it, Zach glanced at the box with at least
twenty sticks. “Only one for me?”
Mirabella looked up at Zach and suddenly remembered the three huge boxes of school papers still in transit. Her
mood soured instantly. “You think one’s too few? Then you don’t need any.”
Zach quickly hid the incense stick behind his back. “No, | misspoke.” Mirabella’s moods could

Zach watched her ascend the stairs, confused, pushing up his glasses without a clue as to how he had managed
to upset her.
The next morning, Mirabella was up bright and early. The stu“Country Comfort was going to be shot wasn’t in

Point.
On the road, Collins glanced in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but comment. “You really planning on
staying behind the scenes for the show?”
Mirabella leaned back in her seat, a lazy ponytail draped over her shoulders, and lifted her eyelids slightly. “Yep.”

But Mirabella seemed entirely disinterested in the limelight.
