“she stands amidst the rain, bereft of shelter. Her yearning to meet you appears
fervent and unyielding.”
Leon's lips remained sealed. Julius pivoted, poised to disperse Millie.

Rising, Leon advanced to the monitoring console, beholding Millie's form, a
shivering silhouette within the rain’s embrace.
Had she not been confined to the hospital? What impelled her here in such a
bedraggled state?
The monitor dimmed, and Leon decreed, “Admit her.”
In compliance, Julius escorted Millie indoors. Amidst the expanse of the room,

embarrassment compared to their hospital encounter. The bite of the rain had left
her complexion pallid, her nose tinged with a frosty blush.
“Beg? Is this your notion of pleading? A beg so meager?”

beseech you, save my grandmother.”
