L didn't say much, but Stella could sense a sincerity in his words. After a moment's thought, she sent him her Twitter handle.
Ever since deciding to divorce Haynes O'Brien, Stella had made a clean break with her past. She hadn't stayed a single night in the O'Brien family home since moving out. She had also changed all her contact information, getting a new phone number and creating new social media accounts. She no longer wanted to see people like Rachel Pearce and Jasper Wilkinson in her feed.
After getting a new number, she'd thrown herself into her work. Any promotional content related to her business was handled by Abby Murphy on a separate, professional account. Stella's personal Twitter was quiet. She occasionally posted pictures of food, but nothing that would reveal any personal details. Even her profile picture was a random image she'd found online, and her username was a simple 'S'. Both 'Summer' and 'Star' started with S, and she couldn't be bothered to think of anything else.
Shortly after she sent her contact info, a notification popped up on her phone.
L has sent you a friend request.
Stella accepted it. She glanced at L's Twitter profile and was surprised to find it completely blank. Not a single post. Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd been blocked. His profile picture was just a black square, as if he couldn't even be bothered to find a stock photo.
As if sensing her confusion, he sent a message.
"Sorry, I don't really have the habit of posting on Twitter. I wouldn't even know what to post."
Stella replied, "It's okay. I'm not much of a poster myself."
