Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“I came to invite you for a meal. I closed up shop early upon hearing your husband’s arrival and prepared a feast for you both.”

Millie attempted to politely decline, not wanting to impose on Joan’s generosity.

“He’s quite the looker, isn’t he? You’ve got good taste. We’ve never seen such a dashing man in our small town before.”

Taking the compliment in stride, Millie directed Marcus‘ attention to Joan’s invitation, and he obliged.
