She had always wished to stand with her dear Walter as the sun dipped low, taking in the gorgeous side by side.

She gazed at the scene unfolding before her, and no words were needed. Her wish had already come to

life.

"This is quite the spot," Walter commented, though his heart was not in it. His mind was busy piecing together the clues hidden in Minnie's casual chatter.

Minnie was not a permanent fixture in that place.

Nonetheless, her infatuation with the view there, paired with her absence, hinted that the villa belonged to someone else.

"Let's head in," Minnie suggested, eager to get on with the evening's significant affairs rather than linger in the twilight.

Inside, the villa was a study in understated elegance, awash in shades of pale blue-a stark contrast to the vibrant reds Minnie and the vanished Julia were known to favor. Clearly, Minnie would not choose a color scheme so at odds with her preferred hues. Despite its minimalist vibe, the villa oozed opulence in the details: Masterpieces adorned the walls, a grand piano commanded the living room, and musical notes were a recurring motif.

The owner, it seemed, had a soul that danced to the rhythm of music.

Thus, she ditched that idea and just served up two perfectly cooked steaks, feeling a bit awkward as she said, "I wasn't sure about your favorite flavors, so I made a bit of everything..."

"Don't sweat it, I'm easy to please. Minnie, you don't have to be so uptight." Walter cut her off, all understanding

"Outside the office, we're not just coworkers. I'm hoping you can relax when it's just us."

He figured if Minnie could loosen up, he might just uncover some clues about who she really was.

Minnie, clueless about Walter's game, blushed and thought he was just into hanging out with her. "Walt- Walter, this isn't much fun, is it? Hang on a second."

She zipped out and came back with two glasses of red wine, one for her and the other she held out to Walter like she was waiting for him to grab it.

Walter raised an eyebrow, then accepted the wine from her hopeful hands with a sly grin on his face.

"Minnie, I'm just a regular guy, and here we are, alone. You're not just at ease with it; you're even sharing a drink with me. You've got guts!"
