A collective pause, an interlude of astonishment. Millie’s gaze descended,
Locking onto the entwined hands of Lois and Leon.
Upon sighting Marcus, Lois wrestled with residual trepidation, memories of her
past abduction haunting her thoughts. Consequently, her glance veered away
from his presence.
“Fortuitous encounter, indeed.” Millie's lips curled into a welcoming smile.
“Having recently dined nearby, a leisurely stroll beckoned.” Lois’ grip on Leon's
hand tightened. “Allow us to proceed...”
In an unexpected twist of fate, a woman and a child collided amidst the bustling
square.
A mother’s voice, a crescendo of reproach, pierced the air. “Do your eyes betray
you? My son, subject to your heedlessness, now suffers!”
“Forgive me.” The woman offered an apologetic refuge, her hair a modest screen
for her unease.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
“Apology spoken, yet departure contemplated... Ah, but your countenance...”
Forgiveness eluded the maternal figure, yielding to a push that toppled the
woman to the ground. And thus, the veil concealing her visage lifted, revealing a
canvas marred by scalds and scars.
Fiona’s disfigured countenance struck fear in the mother, drawing the attention of
onlookers in the square.
Millie too directed her gaze towards her. Could it be Fiona? A tremor coursed
through her hand, bearing the drink, as she hastened her pace, propelled by an
inscrutable sense of urgency.
As anticipated, the prone figure that met her gaze was none other than Fiona,
now prostrate upon the ground.
A constellation of emotions danced within Millie’s eyes, a tapestry woven of
bewilderment and concern. For what reason had Fiona descended into this
state?
Expressions of dismay rippled through the onlookers as they observed Fiona's
altered countenance. A whisper brushed the air, conjecture materializing in
words. “It appears she might have suffered scalding burns.”
“Her facial features have been irrevocably marred. The sight is truly distressing.”
Fiona’s cautious gaze lifted, and it intersected with Millie’s presence. A gradual
shift of her eyes followed, tracing a deliberate path to where Millie stood.
As her gaze settled upon Marcus, Lois, and Leon, Fiona’s pupils underwent a
perceptible contraction. An involuntary shiver coursed through her body, a
tangible reaction to the encounter.
