Mireille and a young man stood at the edge of a high bridge over a wide river, and gazed at a beautiful sunset.

"Isn't it lovely?" Mireille asked.

"Mmmmm," said the man.

"I am sorry," Mireille said. "I must be boring you. We can end this now."

The man shook his head vigorously. "Nnn-mmm!! Nnn-mmm!!"

Mireille smiled. "Alright. A few more minutes, then."

The man chewed at his gag, pulled at his bound wrists and feet (which were encased in a cement block), and prayed for someone to find him before his would-be assassin decided to end the evening herself.
