An hour later, they reached the base of a towering mountain, its peak touching
the sky.
Millie's eyes widened as she gazed upward.
At the summit, a temple stood, accessible by a vertical elevator that reached all
the way up. Marcus purchased tickets and moved towards the elevator, but Millie
halted him.
“Aren't we going to climb the mountain?” she asked, excitement Lacing her
words.
Marcus assessed her with a discerning eye and questioned, “Can you handle it?”
Concern filled his voice, for the mountain was indeed daunting, and he worried
that Millie might tire too quickly.
“Let's give it a try,” Millie replied, though uncertainty tinged her voice.
“Okay,” Marcus agreed, smiling at the thought of them both enjoying the
outdoors. It would be good for Millie, he mused, to build up her strength.
Embraced by the sun's warmth, they began their climb, step by deliberate step.
Marcus’ stamina clearly outpaced Millie's.
After a quarter of the way up, Millie's breathing grew labored, her cheeks flushed
with effort, while Marcus remained composed and steady.

Determined, Millie removed her jacket and tied it around her waist, pushing
forward despite her weariness.
Marcus offered her water.
“Drink some,” he encouraged.
She sipped the water, the sweetness revitalizing her, infusing her with new
energy.
Watching her perspiration, Marcus felt a twinge of regret. He should have chosen
the elevator.
“You're tired, aren't you?”
Millie glanced at her legs, acknowledging the soreness.
“Honey, is there a temple up there?”
Marcus nodded affirmatively.
“Yes, there is.”
“I'd Like to pay my respects,” Millie said earnestly.
