Be happy, Chris, I'm finally posting.
PART 5: Mark + Miller = !
"Hi! Come on in!"
"Look at you!"
"Look at you! You look great!"
"So do you!"
"And Mark, you look so handsome! He's getting so big!"
"I know! Pretty soon he'll be all grown up!"
Mark tried to edge away from this enthusiastic greeting, but of course he failed and got a hug from Madison. He started moving away as soon as possible and bumped right into Scotty, who was similarly trying to go unnoticed.
"Mark, nice to see you again," Scotty said, shaking his hand solemnly. "How are you?"
"Fine, thank you," Mark said. "It's good to see you again." Mark had always liked Scotty. He was the only sane member of that family. Although, Mark always had to wonder why he was still called Scotty. He was a grown man, not a little kid.
"Mark, why don't you go find Miller?" Madison suggested, turning her attention towards him for a minute. Mark stifled the urge to jump as though he'd been zapped by a laser. "She's probably still in her room. You know where it is, right? Up the stairs and to the left."
Mark obediently headed up the stairs. The Corbin-Millers were very wealthy, and they had a large, posh loft apartment. He awkwardly knocked on Miller's door.
"Come in!"
He slowly pushed the door open and peered inside. The room was large and light, with a big window looking down over the city. The room looked very sleek and modern -- white walls and ceiling, hardwood floor -- or at least would have, except that it was filled with stuff. Posters and pictures covered the walls, and several rugs covered the floor. Mark had seen Miller's room before, but the sheer amount of stuff always overwhelmed him. She had three bookcases filled with books, movies, CDs, and various odds and ends. Pictures were everywhere -- both Muggle and non-Muggle. Everytime Mark turned his head, he got another flash of movement and found himself staring at a photo of Miller's many friends grinning and waving wildly.
Okay, I'm tired, so that's all for now. But there will be more!
