In the evening, under a starlit countryside sky, Millie helped her grandma clean the house after dinner, while Bruce sat in the yard, smoking.
Millie emerged with a plate of oranges, her face glowing with a warm smile.
“I just picked them. They’re fresh.”
Bruce discarded his cigarette and accepted an orange, appreciating the calm around them.
“The countryside is so peaceful. Even the wind here feels cooler than in the city.”

Turning his head to regard Millie, Bruce offered an understanding smile.
“Troubles can be a good thing for a man. They often lead to greater achievements.”
His eyes, filled with affection, lingered on her a moment too long, and Millie looked away, standing up abruptly.
“Your room is ready. Get srest. I’m tired and going to bed.”
As she retreated to her room, Bruce put down the orange and pulled out another cigarette, his thoughts a tangled mess.
Meanwhile, as Millie settled into bed, her phone rang, and she answered to Marcus’ voice, soft and comforting. “Honey.”
The endearment eased the tension in Marcus, and he smiled.
“Did you arrive safely?”
Marcus’ concern made Millie feel as though she were tasting honey.

“Is the bedroom door closed?” Marcus’ question csuddenly, sharp with concern.
“What ?”
“Close the door,” Marcus insisted, his voice urgent. “Or someone may harm you when I’m away.”
Millie’s laugh was light and teasing. “There’s someone who cares forso deeply. People say you don’t care for women. How ridiculous.”
From the other end of the line, Marcus’ hearty laughter warmed her heart. “A woman with a hundred- million-dollar hairpin and a billion- dollar wedding gift. How could I not think of her all the time?”
Millie pursed her lips, complaining, “It seems you’re nervous aboutbecause of the money I have. You don’t really value me.”
Marcus chuckled and said, “Protect yourself. Don’t get hurt.”
