Millie yawns and tries to sit better
"N-nothing" Finn answers
"Please you have to sleep... I didn't want this" he tries to lie down under her gaze, but she sits better despite his words
"why can't you sleep?" she says worried, he can read it in her eyes
"it's nothing, really" he pretends a smile but seems that she understood everything
"It's... It's for today?"
"what?" Finn answers quickly because surprised of her question
"Caleb is stupid" he nervously laughs
"t-that was a game, right?"
he doesn't talk, no a word because he really thought that wasn't a true question for him, but...
"Oh... I-I have to answer" he whispers and doesn't receive an answer by Millie, only her eyes laied on him
"I suppose so..." he speaks softly talking to himself
"Well... Yeah, t-that was a stupid thing, b-because you know, Caleb... Caleb, well you know" he smiles but this really isn't one of his smiles
"Yeah yeah... T-that was" she takes a deep breath "w-wrong" she smiles at him but he knows she is lying...

Why is she lying?

He doesn't understand, she said that and now she has that face and she doesn't look at him
"Millie?"
"um?" she answers with a soft voice but continues to don't look at him
"what happened? Y-you look-"
"I'm fine!" she exclaims and to make this honest she looks at him smiling
"I have nothing Finn!" she smiles and after
"by the way, why don't you sleep? I still didn't understand it"
He sits better because he won't answer to her if she doesn't give him an answer too
"You seem sad"
"what? I said why you don't sleep"
"that doesn't matter, first this: did I do something wrong?" he asks to be sure he did nothing before
"N-no Finn. What you said is clear and I... I think same" but she says this with a look that Finn can't understand and she bends again her head because is obvious there is something that disturbs her
"Can you look at me? Please Millie" he tries to move closer to her to stay in front of her, eyes into eyes but only now he realizes that she stood up and went to the kitchen
"w-wait" he tries to stand up too but he fails the first time because he was falling with is face on the ground.

Now that he reached her and is in front of her, face to face, eyes into eyes, it's just FIRE.
