Startled by the unexpected voice, Millie reacted with a slight shiver. The stern and cold voice interrupting the quiet night felt utterly startling. Her legs even shivered from the fright.

Turning toward the voice, she noticed Marcus seated imperially not too far away. “Why are you still up?” Millie asked. “I went for a casual walk around the neighborhood,” she added. Marcus held a scrutinizing stance, his gaze lingering on Millie's luminescent legs.

Venturing out in the dark with another man, and even brazenly lecturing him on etiquette; this woman never ceased to try his patience.
