The rooftop remained in need of repair, a task that would be tackled before their
anticipated journey back to Preagend.
Upon awakening, Marcus discovered Millie’s absence.
He had the breakfast she had thoughtfully kept warm before venturing into the
yard.
There, he found the area tidied up, a testament to Millie's efforts.
Yet a sudden twinge of pain surged through his arm. Despite this, his
temperature had now subsided.
Gazing upon the vivid expanse of blue sky, Marcus contemplated the possibility
of a leisurely stroll with Millie. His thoughts were abruptly disrupted as the door
swung open, and he found himself enveloped in a back-embrace.
Instinctively recognizing the embrace as Millie's, Marcus began to inquire about
her behavior. However, her lips trembled, and she spoke with a hint of sulking in
her voice.
“Honey, I'm done...”
The sight of her tear-streaked face compelled Marcus’ concern to intensify.
Grasping her hands, he tenderly stroked them in an attempt to soothe her
distress.
“Sweetheart, what's amiss? Please don't cry. I'm right here beside you.” Biting
down on her trembling lip, Millie withheld her words, grappling with her inner
turmoil, How could she possibly... It shouldn't have happened.
Witnessing her tears, Marcus’ heart ached. Pushing her hands away gently, he
turned around to face her.
The sight before him was unfamiliar-a vulnerable side of Millie he had never
witnessed. An overwhelming sense of helplessness consumed him as he
scrambled to offer comfort.
“Darling, please don’t cry.”

Her tears were a palpable ache for him.
Assuming she had encountered some form of physical assault during her
absence, he sought to ascertain the cause of her distress, However, the sight
that met his eyes was far from what he had expected.
Millie inhaled deeply and lifted her dress, revealing her ankle occupied by a
sizable crab, The creature's big pincers gripped her flesh firmly, exuding an air of
defiance as if it harbored a deep-seated grudge against her.
Marcus was momentarily stunned, Millie had been ensnared by a crab. Yet, the
situation defied logic. What had unfolded to lead to this?
As her lips quivered under the pressure of her emotions, Millie teetered on the
brink of tears.
