“Can I, honey?” Millie asked, her voice softer still.

This time, Marcus agreed without hesitation, “If you want me to carry you, how could I refuse? Come on up.”

Taking a couple of steps, Marcus bent slightly, allowing Millie to climb onto his back.

“What?” “Just as you said, ‘how could I refuse to carry you?'”
