What? Millie touched her heated cheek. Since when had she grown so brazen? She had been discovered spying on his shower, making her the laughing stock.

After ten minutes, the liquid symphony of water ceased its melody. Millie drew the inevitable conclusion that Marcus, like a ship docking at a port, must have completed his maritime cleansing ritual.

Ensconced in her cocoon of quilt, Millie cast an illusion of deep slumber.

However, Millie's thespian endeavor faltered. Marcus, like a specter, sauntered to the bed’s head, lifting the quilt off her visage with a phantom touch. Involuntarily, her hand sprang forward to reclaim it, only to be thwarted by Marcus.

Millie countered, asserting herself in the silent drama.

Agrin uncurled on Marcus’ lips. “Dare you spy on a man during his shower?”

Upon the completion of her tale, a blush stole across her face like the sun’s kiss at dawn.

“Wasn't it you who claimed to treasure chastity a moment ago? Now, you claim to have known many men. Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”

Marcus, unable to fathom the origins of his irritation, tossed the sheet in his hand over Millie's face. He deemed her unworthy of him and of his vexation.

With a resonating click, Marcus plunged the room into darkness, prompting Millie’s lips to twist into a sulky pout.

Silence descended, coating the room like a thick shroud.

Millie, eyes ajar, sat in a pool of discomfort. She was left wondering about the arrival of the unwanted visitors.

An hour’s vigil later, the window stirred to life.
