Millie shook her thoughts away, replying, “Thank you for helping me earlier. I must go now.”
She started to walk away, and Bruce trailed behind, hands in pockets.
“Let’s go together.”
“Together?” Millie questioned, puzzled at his sudden interest.
“I’m intrigued by how Marcus can stand living in such a cramped rental with you every day. I want to
