Once Millie had calmed down, she wiped at the mess and said, “Let’s not do that, Giffard. I only ate your food today because Alexia’s unable to bring me my lunch. Normally, I wouldn’t dare try anything you bring.”

Giffard tapped her lightly on the forehead. “You know, that hurts my feelings.”

Millie just gave him a look, unable to come up with a good reply.

When she noticed the spill, she decided it was time to head to the bathroom and change her clothes.

Giffard moved to offer his help as she stood up.

After pushing his hand away a couple of times, Millie realized he would never give up. Since he wouldn’t actually come into the bathroom with her, she gave in and let him help her up.

Her hospital room was split in two—a space for her bed, and a small balcony beyond a frosted glass door that provided a bit of sunlight and some privacy. The bathroom was tucked away on that balcony.

Millie slipped inside while Giffard stayed just outside the door. Standing in front of the mirror, she studied the stain on her clothes, hesitating before speaking up.

“Giffard, you know Alexia and I have been friends forever. Since you’re her brother, I’ve always thought of you like family too.”

She found the courage to say this only with the bathroom door between them. “So, about all the things Alexia jokes about us—please don’t take any of it to heart,” she added.

On the other side of the door, Giffard’s grin faded. The sunlight coming through the window cast long shadows by his feet, and a quiet seriousness settled over him. After a short pause, he replied with an easy tone, “Yeah, I know. Alexia’s always been that way. She never thinks before she acts.”

Millie breathed a soft sigh of relief when she heard him sounding just the same as always. That worry that he might take things the wrong way eased from her mind. In her heart, Giffard had always been just a friend—nothing else. Lately, Alexia had gone out of her way to try and pair them up, and no matter how many times Millie refused, Alexia just laughed it off and kept meddling. Clearing things up today felt right. Maybe now it would save them both from feeling awkward later on.

Thinking that, Millie quickly started to change.

A moment later, Giffard’s voice came through the door again. “What’s the matter, did Alexia’s little match-making game really scare you? Relax! You think you can make it out on your own, or should I call in backup? Need a hand getting dressed?”

His playful joking finally made Millie relax. With that familiar mischievous tone, she knew everything was back to normal between them.

She answered, “I can handle it myself, thanks. You don’t need to worry!”

After changing in a hurry, Millie gathered up her soiled clothes and swung open the bathroom door, throwing a pointed look at Giffard, who stood there with an amused grin.

With his signature relaxed manner, he offered his arm and said, “Your Majesty, allow me the honor.”

Millie gave him an exaggerated eye roll but rested her hand on his arm, letting him escort her back into the room.

On the other side of the frosted glass, she caught a hazy glimpse of someone lingering by the hospital room entrance. But she couldn’t see clearly. Together, they pushed open the frosted glass door and moved back into the room.

A chilly breeze swept in, causing Millie to shiver for a moment.
