“No, this assertion finds no foothold within me.”
“Your tenacity is evident. Should I then apprise your master of your penchant?”
Flustered, Millie’s cheeks flushed crimson, words slipping from her grasp in the
face of the proposition.
“Pray, abstain from such utterance. Later, I shall secure the album.”
Her chest bore the weight of unease, her gaze sidelong, an inquiry on her lips.
“How did you come to this place?”
Absent a moment prior, his presence now emerged into the scene. His last arrival
was also least expected.
Harlan’s finger extended toward the towering wall adjacent, his declaration
ringing forth. “From yonder perch, I ascended. Your engrossment rendered you
oblivious, lost in the tableau of your master’s musings.”
Stunned, Millie stood agape, incredulity painting her features. The notion of
scaling such lofty heights seemed a tale spun from the realm of fantasy.
Millie's eyes widened in amazement upon spotting the dust particles clinging to
Harlan’s attire’s hem.
She blinked, her voice a mix of awe and jest. “Your prowess is astonishing; it's as
though you can defy gravity and traverse walls with the grace of a bird in flight.”
“Does this wall dare challenge my ascent? Even a seven-story monolith cannot
deter me, for my hands are the only tools I require.”
Millie, taken aback by his assertion, could hardly believe her ears.
“Harlan, what occupation might you have pursued? Your capabilities are truly
remarkable. Were you perhaps a member of a special forces unit?”
Her contemplation ventured, assuming a history of military service and a position
of preeminence.
“The allure of my profession piques your curiosity? Ah, but it's been ages since
my heart felt the thrum of romantic entanglement. Consider this proposal:
assume the role of my paramour, and in retum, I shall regale you with tales of my
vocation.”
Bending down, Martin leaned in closer to Millie, who was perched on the swing.
