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.

“Don’t worry about that. Think of me as family. It’s the first time your husband has visited the countryside. Since your grandma isn’t here, it’s my duty to extend hospitality. Let’s go.”

With a conspiratorial tone, Joan cast a glance at Marcus, who was occupied with selecting oranges in the yard.

“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.

The evening unfolded with a delicious meal at Joan’s home, complete with her renowned bread and an assortment of delectable dishes.
