The thin and petite Millie looked extra vulnerable on the bench. She gave off a feeling of loneliness that made him feel sorry for her.

She glanced at him. “Why are you hanging out here at this hour?”
“I’ll do whatever you’re doing.” He stayed put since Millie was around. Crossing his arms, he stared into the dark sky, where a brilliant moon hung amidst a scattering of stars–a rare night of perfect weather.
“Mr. Greer, you are certainly romantic.” Millie took a sip of hot soup and felt her body warm up.
He silently observed the sky. Soon, Millie was done eating, but she stayed behind and joined him in watching the sky.
