"Is it just me or doesn't he seem prettier with each passing day? He's been out cold for two days now but his skin looks even healthier than mine. It's like he's not even human," exclaimed Mildred.
"Human or not it's a wonder he's still breathing when his skull has been cracked," said Nana while staring at the man again.

Mildred had begun to develop feelings for the unconscious man.
