She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 98

“Win, Mills?” Joanna’s voice echoed from behind.

Millie and Winston turned, finding Joanna in her white coat with a cup of coffee in hand.

Her face briefly stiffened seeing the scene, her lips pressing into a thin line.

Mille and Winston together explained why he hadn’t answered her calls earlier–he was with Millie. Joanna wondered if he was still hung up on his ex.

“Did I interrupt?” she asked, her smile tainted

“Thanks for the hospital escort, dear ex–husband. It’s rare to find such a good ex like you.” Millie raised her hand, tapping lightly on Winston‘
