NovelBookInside the bedroom, Queenie was the first to spot the envelopes and snatched one up.
She tore it open-inside was a debit card. She checked the other two:
both were cards as well.
“Mr. Keane, this is hardly generous,” she called out. “A few cards? For all we know, there could be just a penny on
each!”
“Oh, con, ladies! Every card has at least ten grand on it. Not much, but enough for each of you to treat
yourselves to a new bag. What do you say?”
As soon as Justin finished, Cole slipped a few more envelopes under the door.
“He's right, it’s not like we could cram thick wads of cash through the door. But if you'd prefer cash, just crack
the door open a bit and we'll pass sthrough!”
Inside, the four women exchanged glances. “Well, that’s not impossible,” one of them replied. “But you'll have to
answer a few questions first. Get them right, and we'll let you in. But Stella's answers are the only right ones-
agreed?”
“No problem, no problem!” the men chorused.
“But!” Alessia cut in.
“Before each question, you have to do ten push-ups. We moved the hallway camera into the room-we’re

Alessia, barely containing her laughter, made a zipping motion across her. lips, pledging silent allegiance to her
sisters.
Stella, all smiles, sat back and watched her friends valiantly “defend” her. Suddenly, she thought that maybe
having a wedding wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
The guys outside realized their tricks weren't working, so they lined up obediently, each settling into position for
their push-up turn.
As soon as the first one finished, Justin knocked on the door.
“First question: How tall is Stella?”
“One sixty-seven!” Justin shot back without hesitation.
“Very good. Next question.”
The second man started his push-ups. The hallway grew quiet-curious relatives and kids had gathered to watch
the fun.
“When is Stella's birthday?”
“August eighth!” Justin shouted, earning a round of applause from the “hype squad” gathered nearby after every
correct answer.
Soon, they reached question nine.
Cole breezed through his ten push-ups.
“Ninth question!” Alessia’s voice cfrom behind the door. Everyone held their breath, waiting.
“What is Stella's wish?/
“To own a sprawling vineyard, open a cozy little wine bar, and live happily and healthily with her family, friends,
and the love of her life.”
Stella nodded, a radiant smile on her face.
“Last question: Has Stella’s wish ctrue?”
