“Yes, I've been quite occupied.”
“What have you been busy with?”
Following a brief pause, Millie wondered if her curiosity was getting the best of
her.
“Have you grown accustomed to life without me?” Marcus gazed at her, his lips
curving into a smile.
His handsome grin, combined with the fragrance of tulips, created an
unexpectedly charged atmosphere.
Atrace of unease flickered in her eyes, and Millie turned her head, briskly
walking away.
“No, I was just asking. Don't read too much into it.”
In truth, she was genuinely interested in his answer.
Why was she like this? Hadn't she decided to keep her distance from him? Yet,
during these days without seeing him, it felt like something was missing from her
life.

Millie felt a mixture of happiness and shyness. After a moment, she withdrew her
hand from his grasp.
Unexpectedly, her action caused Marcus to inhale deeply.
