Beyond the pavilion, blue rain poured in silver sheets, while inside, a lamp spilled warm light across the polished floor, stretching their shadows until they nearly touched the far walls.
Soft, lilting music played as they turned together, each careful step drawing them closer in the hush.

A stray breeze teased a strand of Millie’s hair, and the faint trace of her perfume drifted between them, making Myron’s gaze sharpen with something unspoken.

A slow, knowing smile touched Myron’s lips. “We have,” he answered, his voice rich and mellow. “But only in passing. I doubt I made much of an impression back then.”
Millie dipped her head, her lashes fluttering as she smiled back. “I see,” she murmured, unable to hide the hint of curiosity in her eyes. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Can you tell me?”

Myron let out a low laugh, warmth glinting in his eyes. “If I tried to list them all, we’d be here all night. Maybe I should save the details for our next weekly check-ins.”
