Massimo smiled as he exchanged a look with Millicent, making it very clear that the two were up to something “You won't need it.” “Why?” she asked, but of course he didn't budge, just extending his hand in her direction. “It’s a surprise, Mom.” Millie said, her hands in her mouth, as if she was trying to contain herself from letting anything slip.
