“Marcus,” Millie called softly.
He turned, his voice just above a whisper.
“Hey.”
Examining his face, she couldn't help but ask, “You seem out of sorts. What's
going on? Will you talk to me?”
Though Marcus attempted to mask his agitation, Millie wasn't fooled.
“The neighboring province land project is hitting some snags. It's getting under
my skin,” Marcus admitted, regretting the crack in his usually unflappable

first?”
Millie hesitated. She longed for him to find joy every day, and his current mood

“What's on your mind?” Marcus asked, pulling her into an embrace and resting
his chin atop her head.
“Don't be too hard on yourself.” Millie Looked down and took hold of his wrist.
“The Thomas Group has a strong track record.”
“Alright,” he replied.

It persisted, unanswered. Finally, Millie had to ask, “Aren't you going to pick that
up?”
Grinning, he lightly pinched her nose.
“It's probably the project team. They could use a moment for some self-
reflection.”
His playfulness was a reassuring sign for Millie.
