“Morgan! You dare to lie to me? I have helped you so, answered all of your questions. You owe me more…let us not linger in this deception any longer.”

Morgan shivered, yet said nothing. He could not deny her statement. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever known, and naturally he had felt some sense of longing whenever he met with her. She moved closer until their faces were nearly touching.

“Come, Morgan,” Mildred whispered. And then, quietly, as if to herself, “For her…a husband for her...” She pulled him to her, kissing him once. She then stood back and regarded him carefully. He tried to resist, but gave up after she kissed him a second time. He was hopelessly, unutterably lost.

Somewhere far below him, Nameless fell upon the ground, her body wracked with sobs of such intense pain that the birds ceased their song and the wind stopped its blowing. The sun was setting—the end of the third day had come.

“Within a week, she shall conceive your son.”
