Yuki Mizuko

Avery Miller's smile deepened. "And what should I call you?" she asked.

The woman glanced at her briefly before returning her gaze to the distance, a layer of indistinct sadness in her eyes.

Is she sad? How can someone so seemingly cheerful feel sadness? What could possibly be troubling her?

Avery watched her, her smile fading gently.

"Just call me Yuki Mizuko," the woman replied.

"Yuki Mizuko?" Avery echoed, saying the name aloud. Yuki Mizuko suddenly turned around, flashing a mischievous grin at her.

"Hey, young lady, if you don't pay more attention to your beau, he's going to die of jealousy!"

When Avery turned around, she saw Ethan Montgomery looking at her with a somber expression.

Indeed, it seemed that was exactly what was happening.

Ethan, however, seemed quite perturbed by her comment and blurted out loudly, "I'm her husband!"
