She Dies - Season 1 - Episode 42

Stella was lying on a couch, watching
television and her head was resting on her
mum’s laps when her dad entered the sitting room. Her mum folded up the paper she was reading, gently pulled Stella up and walked to her husband. Stella watched as her dad quickly enfolded her mum in his arms and
they kissed each other tenderly. The kiss
lingered and Stella stood, smiling, “You had
better stopped that nonsense or you tear each
other’s lips apart.”

They disengaged and broke into laughter. Her
dad hurried over and scooped her up in his
arms. He pecked her on the cheek, “Your
loquacity will make you a shrewd legal
practitioner.” He dropped her gently on her
feet and smiled.

Thelda chuckled, “My daughter can never
snatch my husband from me.”

They dissolved into laughter.

Thelda looked at her wrist watch, “Darling, you came back earlier than usual. Hope everything is alright?”

Williams sat down, “Yes. We’re going for lunch at Skannish Restaurant.”

Stella looked excited, Thelda also became
enthusiastic. They used to have lunch at
Skannish Restaurant on weekly basis until
Williams became a governor. Since they
became the first family of the state, Williams
had always been busy, barely having time for
lunch at home. Stella ran to her dad and sat
on his laps, “I love you dad.” She began
fondling his tie.

Thelda said from where she stood, “I love you darling. It’s like you’ve a surprise for us.”

Williams smiled, “Too early to tell. Go get
dressed.”

Stella and her mum hurried into their
respective rooms. In a jiffy, they were back to
the sitting room. Thelda wore a pinstripe suit
and black shoes while Stella was wearing a
blue shirt on black trousers. A pair of tinted
glasses was on her eyes and she was putting
on a high-heeled sandals. Williams regarded
their attire and was impressed, “You look
splendid.” He confessed.

They smiled their thanks and said, “Thank
you,” in unison In few minutes, they were moving towards the waiting convoy. Stella was in-between her parents, her arms entwined with theirs.

They got to a black limousine and a guard opened the rear door. They entered the vehicle and the guard closed the door behind them. The guard hurried to the front door, opened it and got in.

In few minutes, the convoy whizzed off, the
siren wailing. After fifteen minutes drive, the
convoy pulled up in Skannish Restaurant.
