In a determined tone, he interjected, “Let me have a look.”
His hand inched out again, and this time, Millie withheld her evasion, her breath
suspended.
As Marcus peeled away the mask, his gaze deepened in response.
Before him lay Millie’s countenance, adorned with an array of crimson pimples.
The mask, it seemed, had concealed her unsightly face.
“What's the matter? You didn’t bear these this afternoon.” Puzzled, Marcus
inquired, a hint of a furrow forming on his brow.
Millie reclothed herself in the mask; her reflection in the mirror was unbearable,
prompting her to bow her head.
“I was fine earlier, but then an allergic reaction surfaced. Please don't gaze at
me.”
Resolutely, Marcus pulled out his phone, offering, “I'll dial the doctor.”
A firm refusal met his offer, with Millie asserting, “No need. I already swung by the
hospital and got some medication.”
“Why the allergy? What might have triggered it?” Marcus stowed his phone away.

Perplexed, Millie surmised, “Possibly, I inhaled something provoking my
sensitivities.”
Indeed, the phenomenon puzzled her—an allergy manifesting even in moments
of stillness and inactivity.
As Marcus’ absence from the living room became apparent to Millie, her
conjectures soared. Could he not bear the sight of her face? Did his affections
reserve room only for beauty?
Resolutely, Millie ascended the staircase to her bedroom.
Yet, as Marcus reached the upper floor, the sight of Millie clutching a quilt en
route to another room met his gaze.
Upon spotting Marcus, she addressed him.
“I've decided to bunk in the adjacent room for a few days. You, on the other hand,
should turn in early.”
At the door, Marcus came to a halt, his gaze a perplexed barrier before her.
