Bruce questioned, “If you didn’t break it, why are you holding these fragments?
Just confess, Millie.”
“Believe it or not, I'm going upstairs,” Millie retorted.
She opted to leave the room, unwilling to prolong her interaction with Bruce. It felt
as if the following moment might drive her to the brink.
Bruce shifted his tone to seriousness.
He intervened, saying, “Hold on, I know a restoration expert. I can take you to
him.”
Millie inquired skeptically, “Is that true?”
“Absolutely. Your anxiety is palpable. Would I deceive you?” Bruce affirmed.
Millie had been on the verge of joining Bruce to address the vase’s damage.

room.
“Bruce, welcome,” Celeste said warmly.
Anod from Bruce acknowledged Celeste’s presence.
“Thad intended to locate Marcus, assuming he was here.”
“Basic courtesies elude some,” Celeste commented, her tone edged. “Guests

As Celeste approached, her gaze was fixed on Millie, conveying an implied
rebuke.
Summoning a deep breath, Millie proceeded to prepare tea for Bruce, extending
the gesture to Celeste as well.
