In the present, he seemed akin to a solitary and aloof monarch, radiating an
impenetrable aura. It was as if anyone venturing closer risked annihilation.
The succeeding day dawned, prompting Millie’s awakening. Marcus, with an air
of solemnity, directed her attention to a sheet of paper adorning the desk.
“I have enumerated three directives for your compliance. Abide by these
henceforth.”
What?
Puzzlement gripped her. Retrieving the paper, she perused its contents.
1. Cultivate personal transformation and exude kindness. 2. Avoid impure
utterances. 3. Refrain from subjecting him to pinching.
“Transform myself into what? Am I not typically affable? Is this some jest?”
Millie's lips curled skeptically.
It appeared he could anticipate her response. With unwavering resolve, Marcus
intoned, “If you are indeed kind, persist in your course. If not, then amend
yourself.”
Past transgressions bore myriad unfavorable tales about Millie, yet Marcus chose
to consign these to oblivion. The future held promise, contingent on her personal
metamorphosis.
Millie contested further, “Impure utterances? I've not uttered a solitary
inappropriate word.”
Ashake of her head ensued. What foul language had she spouted? Her utterance
of “shit” stemmed from a surge of ire.
Marcus’ trifecta of stipulations seemed bereft of relevance. She believed herself
inculpable on all fronts.
“At the very least, exercise circumspection in your speech henceforth.”
On the cusp of her impending query about the final edict, Millie raised her gaze,
only to find Marcus had departed.
How could his absence transpire so abruptly? Bridging the distance to the
balcony, her sight was met by Marcus ensconced within a vehicle, window
slightly ajar. He lingered momentarily before departing.
Millie sensed his remoteness not only on the previous night's balcony but also
within the confines of the car, as though an insurmountable chasm stretched
between them.
