“Darling, I was mistaken. I didn’t truly know you then, but now I see you for the
wonderful person you are. I deeply regret my past actions.”
“They say men are fickle remain so in the future? You treat me well now, but
who's to say it will
Millie's voice held a tinge of melancholy, her chin resting thoughtfully upon her
hand.
Observing her contemplation, Marcus’ brow furrowed. The landscape of her mind
remained veiled, prompting his desire to unravel her thoughts. Was this her self-
doubt? Did she not yet understand the steadfastness of his commitment?
Yet an air of uncertainty seemed to shroud her confidence. Unbeknownst to her,
his commitment to her was unwavering-a devotion that even death couldn't sway.
“What's so funny?” Millie inquired, her voice tinged with curiosity, as Marcus
chuckled softly.
“Honey, your self-assuredness appears to have diminished,” Marcus observed, a
note of gentle teasing threading his words.
Millie found herself momentarily rendered silent. She contemplated her own
words and realized the truth in his observation, Millie sought to uplift herself from
her momentary self-doubt.
“No, I possess unwavering confidence. Even as age graces me with its touch, I
shall retain my beauty. And if you cease to love me, I'll find another handsome
suitor.”
“Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing?”
Millie winced as Marcus pressed her shin; the pain was immediate.
“with me by your side, do you believe you could ever love another man?” Marcus’
eyes darkened with a hint of anger, startling Millie.
“It was just a joke; why so serious? It's not befitting of a loving husband,” she
replied softly, her voice attempting to soothe his ire.
In an instant, Millie found herself drawn into Marcus’ embrace, her world
enveloped by the warmth and strength of his chest.
“What did you just imply? Are you suggesting that I am not a capable husband?”
To forestall any further vexing words, Marcus gently tilted Millie’s chin, bestowing
upon her lips a tender kiss as a playful reprimand.
The aftertaste of their shared moment lingered as Millie abruptly broke away,
hastening her retreat as if caught in a whimsical reverie.
“Where are you off to?”
Marcus’ tone bore a note of dissatisfaction, a sentiment that mirrored his intention
to not release her so readily.

She reassured, resuming her escape with newfound determination.
As she vanished from his sight, Marcus shook his head in fond bemusement.
Millie's departure was merely a fleeting retreat in their ever-evolving romance.
