The tempest sent various items cascading from the nearby table to the floor, shattering their intimate cocoon with jarring finality.
Millie’s eyes fluttered open, focusing on Myron’s face above her.

“The evening demands my departure now,” Myron announced, threading his fingers through her silken strands.
