After Attorney Whitman left, Haynes turned to Stella.
“It’s too late tonight. We’ll pick up Keene tomorrow. Let me drive you home.”
Just as he finished speaking, Neville stepped forward. “No need for the trouble. I’m heading the same way as Star—I’ll give her a ride.”
Haynes didn’t even spare Neville a glance, as if he didn’t exist.
He looked at Stella. “Come on. I’ll take you.”
Neville didn’t seem offended. He chuckled softly. “Mr. O’Brien, didn’t you arrive here in Star’s car? Now that her car’s been towed, just how are you planning to drive her home?”
Stella glanced at Haynes. “Attorney Whitman hasn’t gone far. If you call him now, you might still catch him.”
Then she turned to Neville. “Thank you, Mr. Connolly.”
Neville smiled. “You and I—there’s no need for thanks. Let’s go.”
As they walked past Haynes, Neville paused as if remembering something. He deliberately added, “Mr. O’Brien, you don’t expect me to drive you home too, do you?”
Haynes frowned, about to speak, but Neville cut him off.
“Give you a ride? Yeah, that’s not happening. You’ll have to find someone else.”
With an insufferable little wave, he turned and walked away.
Stella followed without looking back.
